As part of the collaboration, the Government of Baluchistan will ensure safe passage for Mobilink Foundation’s relief caravans en route to relief camps in Awaraan. The Sindh Police and Rangers will be engaged to provide security from Karachi to Lasbela, following which the Pakistan Army will provide escort up to the designated relief distribution points.
