Peshawar – During the holy month of Ramadan, when needy families eagerly await financial assistance, Deputy Commissioner of Nowshera, Irfanullah Mehsud, took an extraordinary step that set a new precedent in public service. Unlike the usual bureaucratic procedures where people have to submit applications and wait endlessly for aid, this time things were different.
The DC personally ensured that every single penny of the Ramadan relief package reached the rightful recipients—without making them go through any hassle. What makes this initiative even more remarkable is that Irfanullah Mehsud did not rely on official lists or middlemen. Instead, he went undercover and personally identified families who were genuinely struggling but too dignified to ask for help. With great dedication and discretion, he ensured that the aid reached those who truly needed it. Just a few days before Eid, when these underprivileged families received unexpected mobile notifications about the financial assistance credited to their accounts, their joy knew no bounds. Many were overwhelmed with gratitude, raising their hands in prayers for the DC.
The people of Nowshera also extended their heartfelt appreciation to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Chief Secretary for appointing such an honest, compassionate, and dutiful officer who truly understands and addresses the struggles of the common people.
Meanwhile, in other districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there remains uncertainty about how and to whom the Ramadan relief funds were distributed. In contrast, Irfanullah Mehsud’s unparalleled dedication and integrity have set him apart from his peers, making him a shining example of ethical governance and public service. His actions will be remembered as an inspiring model for future administrators.
