This meeting was attended by all provincial ministers, advisers, special assistants, heads of various welfare organisations, chief secretary, IG Sindh, home secretary, Karachi police chief, finance secretary and many others.

Furthermore, the CM said, “The daily wage earners will have to get themselves registered through an application and then the government will distribute different areas among different welfare organisation for distribution of rations,”. Also, the chief minister told that according to 2017 census, the population of Sindh was 50 million. Among them, 10 million people or 1.4 million families were daily wage earners, so the Sindh government, with the support of the welfare organisations wish to provide them with rations and other necessities.

They too were registered with the EOBI, and 40 per cent workers were affiliated with small and medium-sized enterprises, cottage and roadside shops and transport industry. But, this group comprising of 40% of 10 million people were not registered with any organisation such as EOBI or Sindh Employees Social Security Institution (SESSI). So the primary motive of the government is to provide rations to this group of 40% first through Sindh Relief Initiative App.
