PPP leader availing BISP benefitsTalking to The Express Tribune, service providers said, “We cannot explain the misery we are undergoing due to the delay in payments. The Waseela-e-Rozgar Free Vocational and Technical Training Scheme, a part of the BISP, was started by PPP government in memory of the late Benazir Bhutto. But since the time Nawaz government has been in place, neither a monthly stipend of Rs6000 to nearly 25,000 trainees nor any payment to the service providers has been made. Performance of service providers was assessed through different methods and payments have been made to those who fulfill the criteria. The official further said once the deserving cases are approved by the BISP board members the payments will be made.
