MP: Iran should provide more support to families with no income
By Trend
Iran's government should implement necessary measures to support individuals to earn a living during the coronavirus spread, said a member of national security commission of Iran's parliament Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Trend reports citing ILNA.
"While some families are currently struggling, the govenment can order to have their bank loan payments delayed or provide discounts," Boroujerdi said.
"People depend on the government and it can provide special discounts for example - provision of natural gas for three months," said the MP.
"In situation when incomes have dropped to zero, the government can reduce costs to a minimum," he added.
"The issue should be reviewed by the National Headquarters to Fight Coronavirus , since the following establishment has authority that is on the same level with the National Security Council to make decisions," he said.
