Islamabad: PM) Imran Khan on Thursday,March 18, 2021 handed workers over 1500 keys at low-cost apartments and houses developed under the Naya Pakistan Housing Program (NPHP) initiative to laborers, according to news sources.
Addressing those present and applauding the work of his team, Prime Minister said: “You have relaunched a 25-year project that was dormant and you have done it for the people of today.” He said it was a great achievement, as for 25 years no one had thought of working for the lower strata of society, giving away houses to them
Prime Minister said this program represents the thinking behind Naya Pakistan. The premier said the poor paid the rent to live in the houses, but now the rent itself will serve as a payment for the mortgage, which will be owned by the tenants for a period of twenty years.
