The Supreme Court had issued certain directives vis-à-vis disbursement of funds among the needy under the government’s Ehsaas programme, but later withdrew the same at the request of the attorney general.

The AG pleaded that such directives be issued after a proper briefing by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Zafar Mirza and representatives of the National Disaster Management Authority.

The briefing will be held at the Supreme Court at 12 noon.
