"Volunteers will have to register all those that have lost their jobs due to the lockdown at their respective union councils. Not everyone can register themselves so that is where the force will come in."

He added that volunteers will also monitor the Ehsaas Emergency Cash Programme and give the Centre feedback.

"If you see hoarding anywhere, don't take action yourself but tell the administration. They will take action," he added.
