The Advisor to Federal Ombudsman, Hafiz Ehsan Khan, visited the state of the art online Pension Cell of Karachi Port Trust. His visit was in pursuance to the instructions given out to Federal Government Department to facilitate their pensioners through implementation of online disbursement of pension to pensioners. KPT is amongst the few government organizations to successfully launch an online disbursement facility for their pensioners.
