Flour is given away without charge to anyone who signs up for the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). This initiative aims to help low-income families who are having a difficult time making ends meet.
Procedure To Get Free Flour Via BISP
Consumers must first text their NIC number to 8070 to verify their eligibility for the free flour, and then, once their eligibility has been confirmed, they must come to the centre with their original NIC.
صارفین کو مفت آٹے کے لیے اپنی اہلیت کی تصدیق کے لیے پہلے اپنا NIC نمبر 8070 پر ٹیکسٹ کرنا چاہیے، اور پھر، ایک بار جب ان کی اہلیت کی تصدیق ہو جاتی ہے، تو انھیں اپنے اصل NIC کے ساتھ مرکز میں آنا چاہیے۔
Once they have the slip, they must use the BISP app to scan their ID card before picking up the flour from a truck at the centre.
ایک بار جب ان کے پاس پرچی ہو جائے تو، انہیں سینٹر میں ٹرک سے آٹا لینے سے پہلے اپنا شناختی کارڈ اسکین کرنے کے لیے BISP ایپ کا استعمال کرنا چاہیے۔
Number of Flour Bags Per Family
In addition, only one bag of flour will be provided at a time, and a family is only qualified to receive a total of three bags. The second bag will be sent out after eight days.
This effort has not been without criticism, despite its excellent intentions. Following reports of fatalities in the queue for the free flour, questions have been raised about the distribution mechanism.

Aims of the Programme
Notwithstanding the challenges, this programme has been able to assist many low-income families. Given the rising cost of food and other necessities, any assistance can make a big difference. But, the government must guarantee that the distribution system is reliable and safe.
