Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that the promise of providing roofs to people will be fulfilled and 35000 subsidized apartments will be constructed in Lahore at a cost of 180 billion rupees.
He expressed these views while talking to Minister of State Muhammad Shabbir Ali Qureshi who called on him at his office on Friday.
Usman Buzdar said that the construction of 4000 subsidized apartments was being started in the first phase.
He said business-friendly reforms in LDA have yielded positive results. The amendments in LDA building and zoning regulations will encourage the construction of high-rise buildings to attract huge investments while creating job opportunities, he remarked.
Meanwhile, the approval of buildings' maps is granted in 30 days while the government was following the policy of composite development in backward and remote areas like Kot Addu, concluded the CM.
State Minister Shabbir Qureshi appreciated the balanced development vision adding that this approach is visible in the province. Provincial Housing Minister Asad Khokhar was also present.
