"Shelter is the basic requirement of every human being. I saw in Lahore, there were people who had no shelter and were sleeping on the roads. We have set up 160 shelter homes across the country," the prime minister said.
"Likewise, healthcare is a basic requirement, and an entire family suffers if a breadwinner falls ill. We have launched Sehat Insaf Cards to ensure free medical treatment for deserving people, and hundreds of thousands of people are benefiting from it," Khan said.
The PM said a comprehensive civic management strategy was being formulated to ensure that the cities were expanded through a proper plan and to stop haphazard expansion.
"There should be a green area around every city, and there should be a proper civic management plan. The expansion of the cities without any planning has caused numerous problems," he said.
The PM said that inflation was being reduced in the country and soon the interest rate would also be reduced to allow the general public to take loans at affordable interest rates.
Moreover, a workable strategy is also being worked out for the effective rehabilitation of slums in every city, he said. "Everything is changing in Naya Pakistan-for good. The hard times are over and the people have started reaping the benefits of the measures we have taken to facilitate the people of Pakistan," the PM said.
