The federal government Thursday urged the Sindh government for activating the Prime Minister’s Corona Relief Tiger Force (CRTF) in the province, which was meant to assist the local administrations, carrying out relief and rescue activities in their respective areas during lockdown.
Addressing a news conference here, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Muhammad Usman Dar appealed Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah to take decision regarding the utilization of the registered CRTF members in the fight against the Covid-19.
“Some 154,000 registered members of the tiger force have been awaiting the coordination of the Sindh government and their Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners to formally start the [relief] work,” Usman said, urging the CM Sindh for taking up the matter instantly.
He said the CRTF had been launched in Sialkot recently which had started working in their respective areas. The registered members from Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan would soon start working in their respective districts.
Usman said around one million people had registered themselves for the CRTF that included a whooping number of professionals. Doctors, engineers, lawyers, retired army personnel and others had joined the tiger force with great enthusiasm.
