The banned Al Rashid Welfare Trust is planning to continue its relief activities in the quake-hit areas under the cover of another charity organisation, Al Amin Welfare Trust, Daily Times learnt on Saturday.The Sindh High Court (SHC) directed the government on Thursday to partially lift the ban on the trust to enable it to distribute perishable food items and life-saving drugs among needy people, especially in the quake-affected areas. Sources in the trust told Daily Times that they had started relief activities after the SHC orders and were now considering forming another charity organisation to continue their relief work to avoid a repetition of past events.
Earlier, the interior ministry had banned Al Rashid and Al Akhtar Welfare Trusts and frozen their bank accounts/assets on February 18. The Karachi-based head office of Al Rashid Trust and its 28 offices and sub-offices were also sealed.
