A 50-year-old woman lost her life in a chaotic stampede at a Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) center in Punjab's Muzaffargarh.

The incident was reported in Khan Garh, Muzaffargarh, where a woman lost her life, who came to the BISP centre to get financial assistance.

The woman, overwhelmed by the chaos and poor organization, lost consciousness amid the growing rush of people struggling to access the center. Despite efforts to assist her, she could not be revived.

The incident has raised serious concerns over the administration's failure to maintain order during the distribution of funds to the public, particularly vulnerable individuals.

In the wake of this tragedy, the deceased woman's grieving family has made an impassioned call for justice, demanding that authorities hold those responsible for the mismanagement accountable.

They have urged the government to improve safety and organizational protocols to prevent such heartbreaking incidents from happening again, especially at centers meant to support the most disadvantaged members of society.

Public outcry has followed, with many criticizing the lack of planning and security at BISP centers, calling for immediate reforms to ensure the safety and dignity of those relying on these vital welfare services.
