The Coronavirus Tiger Force will begin providing its services in Sindh under the supervision of Governor Imran Ismail. This decision was taken on Wednesday in a meeting between Prime Minister Imran Khan and SAPM Usman Dar in Islamabad. It is to note that Special Assistant to PM on Youth Affairs Usman Dar had recently written a letter to the chief secretary Sindh, urging him to activate the tiger force in the province. Addressing a press conference after the meeting, Dar said, “A total of 154,000 people has volunteered from Sindh to become a part of the force.” The assistant expressed his disappointment over the way the Sindh government rejected the concept of Tiger Force. “This is an additional support the federal government is giving to them,” he said. “The force should be activated in Sindh by keeping national cause in the view”, the letter reads. The federal government will take a decision if the force remain inactive in Sindh, Dar stated in his letter. Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan had directed to activate Corona Relief Tiger Force across the country. Presiding over a high-level meeting to review weekly report of the Tiger Force, Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan had asked the chief ministers and chief secretaries to operationalize the force at district, Tehsil and union council level. Terming volunteers of Tiger Force ‘heroes of the nation’, the prime minister had directed to ensure complete cooperation with them. He directed the authorities to ensure excellent cooperation at administrative level to provide maximum relief to masses.
