As part of this program, over 55,000 worker families in Sialkot will receive financial assistance through the Rashan Card scheme. The announcement was made during a special ceremony held in Sialkot for the distribution of Rashan Cards among factory workers.
The event was attended by Punjab Social Security Institution officials, including Commissioner Zulfiqar Ali Kharral and Director General Nadeem Akbar, who highlighted the importance of supporting laborers during the holy month.
Additional Support During Ramadan
Officials explained that workers were already receiving Rs. 3,000 per month through the Rashan Card program. However, due to the blessings and special needs of Ramadan, the government has added an extra Rs. 7,000, increasing the total support to Rs. 10,000 per family.
This step has been taken to ensure that hardworking families can manage their daily expenses more comfortably, buy essential food items, and celebrate Eid with happiness and dignity.
Increased Financial Benefits for Workers

These increases are designed to provide greater financial security and support to worker families during difficult times.
