It is highly important that the donors / charitable organizations and particularly individuals / general public shall be educated / make aware through print and electronic media that facilitating, or providing (hides / skins or money or property) to a Proscribed Organization is a punishable offense under section 11-F(5) & 11-F(6) and 11-H(3) of ATA (Anti-Terrorism Act)-1997 (as amended) and UNSC Act 1948.
