BISP has launched an improved delivery system through Mobile Phone Banking and around 150,000 beneficiaries in Musakhel, Layyah, Batgram and Larkana are being provided free mobiles in the first phase.

The transparency and facilitation of the beneficiaries is the priority of the programme and the whole system is established on modern technology, she said She said BISP is not a political programme and it is working for the well being of the downtrodden segments of the society.
