The video depicts kids from war-torn Bajaur agency holding money in their hands to submit to the account opened by the chief justice Mian Saqib Nisar in July.
The kids, all smiling, earn their money by polishing the shoes of passersby, however, the repeated calls for collection of money forced them to submit money, so that the menace of water scarcity could be avoided.
A day earlier, the Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa handed over a cheque worth Rs 1 billion to the top judge, as a contribution by Pakistan's military for the dams.
