On Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a relief package for the poor in Pakistan. The package includes a one-time cash payment of Rs. 2,000 to every poor family, an increase in the minimum wage to Rs 25,000, and a reduction in the prices of essential commodities.

The announcement was made by the Prime Minister during a televised address to the nation. He said that the package was aimed at providing relief to the poor and vulnerable segments of society who have been facing hardships due to the rising inflation.

The relief package has been welcomed by the opposition parties and civil society groups. However, some economists have expressed concerns that the package may put a strain on the country's already strained finances.

The relief package is a welcome step by the government. However, it remains to be seen how effective it will be in providing relief to the poor. The government will need to take other measures, such as increasing the availability of jobs and improving the social safety net, in order to address the root causes of poverty in Pakistan.
