ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – On Prime minister Imran Khan’s instruction, Pakistan post will deliver pensions to 1.3 million retired employees at their doorstep.

Although pensions are typically given on the 2nd day of the month, this time pensions are being distributed from the 24th day of the previous month with the help of Pakistan Post.

In a statement by Federal Minister Murad Saeed, Pakistan Post has taken up the responsibility to deliver pensions to retired employees keeping their health and well-being in view.

The minister said that typically, retired employees have to use public transport and stand in long queues to get their pensions which is especially cumbersome during these difficult times, which is why Pakistan Post has taken this responsibility.
