Talking to media in Islamabad on Monday, she said 25,000 rupees cash is being provided to the flood affected people under the Benazir Income Support Programme.
She said cash assistance will provide immediate relief to the flood-affected people, enabling them to procure medicines and food items by their own.
The Minister said the Prime Minister has also directed the Finance Division to release a fund of five billion rupees, established for relief measures in the flood hit areas.
She said a joint survey, in collaboration of the National Disaster Management Authority and provincial authorities, has begun to assess the damage caused to houses as well as the number of deaths in the flood related incidents.
She said one million rupees as compensation is being provided to the bereaved families of every person, who died due to the recent floods in the country.
Commenting on the political situation in the country, Marriyum Aurangzeb said foreign funding against Imran Khan has been proven and now he is trying to create chaos and unrest in the country by spreading his fake and baseless narrative.
