LAHORE, Oct 13: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s Punjab chapter dispatched relief goods for Balochistan earthquake victims on Sunday.

PTI general secretary Dr Yasmin Rashid and information secretary Andleeb Abbas accompanied a convoy of three truckloads of relief goods from here to Karachi for their onward transportation to the quake-hi Awaran area of the province.

Dr Rashid said the relief goods also include clothes especially stitched for the quake-affected families so that they could wear them on Eid and feel that the rest of Pakistan cared for them.

She said the Punjab PTI had accepted the responsibility of providing for 300 Awaran families comprising 3,000 people for three months. For the purpose, she said, the party collected Rs2.5 million from its workers and sent quilts, beddings, utensils, and Eid clothes for the people hit by natural calamity.

Ms Abbas demanded the government announce early rebuilding of the houses razed to the ground by the quake so the people could resume their normal life.
