Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS)'s Chairman General Jehan Dad Khan (Retd) said the society allocated Rs 1.4 million to work out a feasibility report about reconstruction of quake-hit areas.
Addressing a high-level meeting on Thursday here, the Chairman said the PRCS, besides reconstruction of houses for quake's survivors, would also rebuild educational institutions and hospital buildings in Azad Kashmir.
Moreover, he said books would be provided to the students of those institutions to continue their studies without facing any hindrance in this connection.
He also told the meeting the PRCS was now carrying out its relief operation in those quake-hit areas as well, which were inaccessible, earlier.
He maintained that several medical teams of the society were engaged in extending services to the patients and injured there, adding additional doctors were also being dispatched that day to boost the medical activities in the quake-stricken areas. He appealed welfare organisations and business community to donate relief services to the survivors of the quake, which struck the country on October 8 to provide them better amenities of life.
