Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur officially launched the digital payment system. The app, called “Digital Disaster Compensation Management”, has been developed by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IT Board. This system has been linked to the provincial government’s central service delivery app Dastak.
Through the app, compensation for damaged properties will be paid directly and online to the flood victims. Through this online system, the victims will be able to claim compensation by uploading the details of their property damage themselves. This app consists of a completely transparent and automated mechanism, which will make it possible to provide compensation to the victims in a timely and transparent manner. Briefing

Complete details of damages and compensation payments will be available on the dashboard for the Chief Minister and Chief Secretary, and other concerned authorities, briefing
