Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Interior, Senator Faisal Saleem, has recommended financial assistance for car owners whose vehicles were damaged during a sudden hailstorm in Islamabad, Express News reported.
Senator Saleem wrote a letter to the Ministry of Interior and the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad, highlighting that the hailstorm broke the windshields of hundreds of vehicles, causing significant financial losses to residents.
“The unexpected hailstorm caused heavy financial damage to citizens. The government should provide partial compensation to mitigate these losses,” the letter read. “Such compensation would not only ease the financial burden on affected citizens but also send a message of goodwill and solidarity.”
Senator Saleem proposed that subsidies or direct financial assistance be extended to economically distressed citizens. He also called for expedited and fair disbursement procedures from insurance companies.
The letter further recommended that the government consider launching a compensation programme after reviewing the suggestions. “Such a programme will help build trust between the public and the government,” the senator added.
