Prime Minister Imran Khan has launched another extension of the Naya Pakistan Housing Programme in Sargodha. The residential housing project will be constructed at 6 different places in Sargodha District and a total of 1,175 houses will be constructed. This extension of the Naya Pakistan Housing Project in Sargodha fulfills Prime Minister’s vision to convert the country’s slums into well-developed areas. Under this project, the prime minister has promised to construct 5,000,000 homes for low underprivileged, and less fortunate citizens of the country.
Facts About Naya Pakistan Housing Programme in Sargodha
Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme is another step of the government to facilitate the low-income class of the society and help them build their own home through subsidy and easy monthly instalments. Prime Minister, while talking at the inauguration ceremony of the Naya Paisan Housing Programme in Sargodha, said that the residential project will be completed in the time span of two years and houses will be provided to those who can’t afford loans from the banks.
The project will be constructed at six different sites and the Punjab government has been assigned the responsibility to provide land as well as other facilities to successfully complete this project in the desired time. About 33,528 applications have been received by interested people for this housing project and all the houses will be given through balloting. The mortgage loan to the deserving will be provided by the Bank of Punjab (BoP) which can be paid in easy monthly instalments.
One of the reasons to build the Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme across Pakistan is that it will provide an opportunity to those who are living illegally in the slums. About 40% of people living in Karachi are living in slums and illegally and don’t even have basic facilities like a sewerage system. This is for the first time a peri-urban scheme is being developed across Pakistan so that people living in underprivileged areas can also own a house.
Size of Housing Units
Initially, the programme will start in 31 tehsils of Punjab but the plan is to spread it to all tehsils by the end of the year 2021. In the district of Sargodha, the construction of these housing units has started at 6 different locations where a total of 1,175 housing units of 3 marla will be built.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, the premier lauded the efforts of the Chief Minister of Punjab Usman Buzdar for aligning all the resources and departments involved in building this project.
