ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Mohammad Usman Dar said on Saturday that youth had shown exemplary volunteerism by registering themselves in the Corona Relief Tiger Force, as more than 567,000 volunteers have registered online.

Mr Dar said that youth has positively responded to the prime minister’s call, and added that the country’s youth was willing and ready to be part of the government’s efforts against the corona pandemic.

“I appreciate the passion of our youth who are ready to assist the government in testing times. The country needs such spirit by our youth to successfully come out of the present challenging situation,” emphasised the special assistant.

He asked the public to use the ‘Pakistan Citizen Portal’ for registration and avoid all other sources and platforms offering membership to the force.
