500,000 Homes in 5 Years: Reality or Just a Promise?
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has once again reaffirmed her commitment to building 500,000 homes in five years. She chaired a special meeting to review matters related to the three-marla free plot scheme.
The Director General of Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency (PHATA) provided a detailed briefing during the meeting. The CM also assessed the provision of loans to individuals receiving free plots to assist them in constructing homes.
It was revealed that under the “Apni Chat Apna Ghar” program, the loan repayment ratio stands at an impressive 100%, and 9,661 homes are currently under construction.
Maryam Nawaz also ordered the restoration of 23 PHATA housing schemes in 19 districts and instructed the release of funds for these projects.
Expressing her sentiments, she stated that seeing people acquire their own homes brings her immense happiness. But will this ambitious plan turn into reality, or is it just another political promise? Only time will tell.
