This fund is dedicated to covering the medical expenses of police employees and their immediate family members, highlighting the department's ongoing commitment to their health and well-being.
Substantial Financial Aid for Critical Treatments
The approved funds have been allocated to address a range of serious health issues faced by the force members. According to details released by the Punjab Police spokesperson, Constable Irfan Ali received a substantial sum of Rs. 500,000 for the treatment of a critical illness. For a necessary knee surgery, Constable Muneeb-ur-Rehman was granted Rs. 300,000.
Further allocations include Rs. 250,000 each for Head Constable Atta Muhammad and Senior Traffic Warden Muhammad Naveed to manage their medical bills. Sub-Inspector Muhammad Ashraf was issued Rs. 200,000 specifically for his hernia treatment.
