The NAPHDA deputy chairman said so far two million people had registered themselves under the scheme.
The chairman assured full cooperation on behalf of the committee and asked to make the registration process easier and faster so that the maximum people could benefit from the facility.

Senator Talha Mahmood chaired the meeting and attended by senators, Seemi Ezdi, Muhammad Javed Abbasi, Mushahidullah Khan, Dr Asad Ashraf, Rubina Khalid, Dr Ashok Kumar, Anwar Lal Din, Samina Saeed and Waleed Iqbal.
