Sindh backs on grant to JDC

From Zeeshan Mirza

KARACHI: Sindh Cabinet has decided to reverse its agenda to provide financial aid to JDC Welfare Organization of more than Rs 2 billion for the establishment of a lab in Karachi.
According to the details, the Sindh government approved the initial plan for JDC’s relief efforts including allocating over Rs 2 billion.
However, an internal disagreement between Sindh’s Chief Minister and the Provincial Health Minister led to a point where Health Minister Saad Niaz openly declared his opposition to the established agenda.
This reversal in the decision to offer financial assistance to JDC has sparked questions about the coherence of policies within the provincial government.
Jafriya Disaster Management Cell Welfare Organization, commonly known as JDC Foundation Pakistan, is a welfare and non-governmental organization mainly operating in Pakistan.
It was established in 2009 by Syed Zafar Abbas Jafri and some like-minded youths in Karachi.
