A charity distributed free wheelchairs among persons with disabilities at a ceremony held at Metropolitan Hall in Bacha Khan Chowk on Sunday. The Dr. Sanaullah Welfare Foundation organised the event and distributed the wheelchairs with বেলুچستان and Karachi-based support.

Specifically, the Karachi-based Disability Welfare Association played a pivotal role alongside local organizers to ensure the program's success. A total of 100 wheelchairs were distributed among deserving persons with disabilities during the well-attended ceremony.

Of these, 25 were allocated to people from Waziristan, while the remaining 75 were distributed among men, women, and children from Peshawar and its adjoining areas. An electric wheelchair was also donated to Amia Bibi, a young girl from Chamkani town in Peshawar, to help her achieve greater mobility and independence in daily life.

Senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Syed Zahir Ali Shah attended the ceremony as the chief guest, along with Javed Rais (Tamgha-e-Imtiaz), founder of the Disability Welfare Association. Programme Manager Babar Iqbal also travelled from Karachi to attend the event, highlighting the nationwide solidarity and cooperation for disability welfare initiatives.

Other prominent speakers included Muhammad Tariq, Ambassador for Thalassemia; Naeem ur Rehman, Vice-President of the Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and Executive Member Anila Khalid. Additionally, Maulana Saeed Al-Hadi, head of Dar-ul-Uloom Hadiya Gulbahar, Subhan Noor, and several other local philanthropists graced the occasion with their presence.

Organizers emphasized that such welfare initiatives must continue regularly to uplift marginalized segments of society and integrate persons with disabilities into the economic mainstream.
