KARACHI: In following up with compensation money meant to be paid to bereaved families of PIA plane crash last year, Governor Sindh Imran Ismail has convened Saturday a session to mull over terms of fund dissemination, ARY News reported. 

According to the details, the meeting was attended by Civil Aviation Authority’s Director General, PIA CEO, National Insurance Company Limited secretary, among other concerned people overseeing the compensation and insurance bids.

CAA said it shall seek recommendations from ministry of law over how to hand out the compensation funds and after unanimous agreement, will materialize it.
