A core component of this year’s initiative is the “Maryam Ke Mehman” program, which has established 422 free iftar centers across the province. These centers provide daily meals to millions of citizens during the holy month. To maintain high hygiene and quality standards, the government has deployed dedicated food safety teams to monitor both the cooking facilities and the distribution points at these centers.

Azma Bokhari emphasized that the relief cards were distributed on a strict merit basis, utilizing data to ensure transparency. She highlighted that this doorstep delivery model, championed by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, serves as a benchmark for public service. While the distribution process enters its final phase, the government remains focused on completing the remaining 5% of deliveries to ensure no eligible citizen is left behind during Ramazan.
