Under this programme, any interested member of the Chamber could bear monthly expenses of one family, which had been estimated at rupees 10,000 per month.
The LCCI has fixed the target of providing assistance to at least 300 families comprising not more than six persons under this programme, said LCCI Vice-President Aftab Ahmad Vohra while talking to Business Recorder here on Wednesday.
Vohra maintained that initially these victims, who would be accommodated at the Tent City, would be provided with only food and medicines but at the later stage or after the recovery of patients, the LCCI would also help them in getting jobs.
He said 300 tents for that proposed city, which would be set up on the land owned by a former President of the LCCI Mian Anjum Nisar, would be reaching Pakistan in a day or two. Those 300 families would be housed for six months in that tent city.
"The LCCI would leave no stone unturned to provide maximum facilities to the victims housed in that tent city during their stay. We have planned that those interested should pay six months' expenses of a family in advance.
These families will be kept in this city to save them from the chilly weather in their own areas," Vohra added.
He said they had already received commitments from dozens of the members in that regard and hopefully work on that city would start in next two to three days.
About the education of children of those victims, he said a plan was being evolved in that regard.
