Distributes allotment letter among recipients of houses

LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said that Pakistan Muslim League-N has not only realized the dream of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif by providing houses to the poor, labourers, widows and deprived persons under Aashiyana Housing Project but also translated the vision of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal into reality.

He was addressing a distribution ceremony of allotment letters to the recipients of houses allotted to them in Aashiana Housing Scheme here at Saroba Atari on Tuesday.

The Chief Minister said that by providing shelter to the shelterless, a feeling has been promoted among them that they were as much Pakistanis as anyone else.

He said that in addition to Lahore, work was also in progress expeditiously on Aashiyana housing schemes in six other districts.

Shahbaz said that Aashiyana housing schemes would be started in 18 other districts this year and the scope of the project will be extended to the whole province.

He said that the common man was still living in miseries and is running from pillar to post for justice and basic facilities. He said that the government of Punjab has started revolutionary projects for the welfare and betterment of the people and Aashiyana housing project was such a welfare scheme which had realized the dream of common man of having his own house.
