The Sindh government will pay daily wage labourers who have no work these days due to the coronavirus lockdown through a mobile wallet application. The money will be given against their CNIC number and labourers will be able to get their money by showing their ID card and phone at mobile shops.
Registration requests are being submitted and the government has asked NADRA, the FIA, FBR and State Bank for help verifying them.
People who have travelled abroad, except for Hajj or pilgrimages and those with over Rs10,000 in their bank accounts will not be eligible for this money.
Daily wage workers have been out of work since the coronavirus lockdown. The government promised to provide them rations. Sindh has reported 502 cases so far.
