| 2019-05-21 |
| [DAWN] Compensation amounting millions of rupees has been distributed among the people whose properties were destroyed in the five tribal districts in former Fata during years of conflict while thousands of other families await validation of their claims. What's the payout from al-Qaeda and the Pak Taliban been? Under Citizen Losses Compensation Programme (CLCP), of the total 111,824 houses damaged in conflict in the tribal districts, about 72,000 have been verified by the official steering committees in these five districts. Survey for verification and validation of the damaged properties is still in progress in the affected districts. Cheques amounting to Rs18.4 billion have been distributed among the affected people according to a CLCP release. The remaining 39,582 claims have yet to be validated for possible compensation. Request for Rs1.094 billion has been forwarded to the provincial finance department for further release to deputy commissioners of the respective tribal districts. |

| #1 More ways of redistributing money among the party backers of a new govt. The departments in-charge of doling out these monies have never paid a single dime out to anyone except their wives' brothers or cousins or fathers-in-law or other confidants, all disguised on paper as 'hurt parties' and victims of everything from violence to floods. Almost no one in pakistan actually a victim of violence will get a single dime. |
