Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday launched the ‘Koi Bhooka Nahi Soye Ga (No one will sleep hungry)’ program under the administration of Ehsaas Programme and Bait-ul-Maal. Under the scheme, free meals will be distributed among the poor through food trucks in all major cities of Pakistan.
As per details, freshly cooked food will be distributed twice a day, among 1000-1500 people on daily bases in portable food trucks. Initially, the food trucks will operate in Islamabad and Rawalpindi only, with daily wage workers the main beneficiary of the programme.
Speaking at the launch, PM Khan expressed his desire to spread the programme in every city of the country. The premier added that the launch of this food drive is a step forward towards a welfare state.
“I always feel happy to see that deserving people are given shelter and food with honour and dignity at various Panahgahs established across Pakistan,” said PM Imran.
