ISLAMABAD, Feb 2: Pakistan Computer Association (PCA) has compiled data of earthquake victims. This was stated by PCA President Munawar Iqbal in a meeting with officials of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) here on Thursday.

Mr Iqbal would actively take part in reconstruction and rehabilitation of quake-hit areas of Azad Kashmir and the NWFP. He said that computer sections would be set up in educational institutions on self help basis. He called upon the industrial and private institutions to take the data from the PCA and give preference to the earthquake victims in jobs.

The ICCI President Abdul Rauf praised the relief efforts of the PCA for the earthquake victims and assured of his full cooperation. He said that earthquake had devastated various areas and reconstruction and rehabilitation would require a considerable time. As educational institutions, government offices and infrastructure were totally destroyed, 17, 000 students were killed and a generation was lost in this natural calamity.
