And Baluchistan.
In a statement issued by his office, Aslam indicated that Punjab, the most populated governorate, represents 4.6 million beneficiaries of defenders and receives 161 billion rupees in support. The bond follows 2.6 million beneficiaries and 100 billion rupees in financing. On the other hand, Khaybar Bakhtongua, with 1.9 million beneficiaries, gets 72 billion rupees, while Balochistan, with only 0.5 million recipients, gets 18 billion rupees.
Aslam, the rates of high poverty rates in Khyber Bakhtonguwa, attributed the tribal areas that are managed by the previous federal (Fata), as it indicated that 75 percent of the population lives below the poverty line.
