Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif formally launched the \u2018Apni Zameen, Apna Ghar\u2019 programme by pressing its e-portal button, here on Saturday.
\nAddressing the inaugural ceremony, she said that people could apply for free plots on the e-portal: azag.punjab.gov.pk. 300 new homes are being built every day across Punjab, she said.
\nCM Maryam announced that in the first phase, 2,000 plots would be distributed across 23 housing schemes in 19 districts, including Jhelum, Pattoki, Mamun Kanjan, Lodhran, and Renala Khurd. Successful applicants will not only receive free 3-marla plots but also be eligible for loans to construct their homes.
\nReflecting on the success of the \u2018Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar\u2019 program, the Chief Minister stated that nearly 34,000 houses are under construction within just six months, with 2,000 already completed. \u201cThese aren\u2019t just houses \u2014 they are prayers,\u201d she remarked, acknowledging the social and emotional impact of the housing initiatives.
\nShe added that \u2018Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar\u2019 is particularly close to her heart and aligns with the vision of Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif. \u201cIt brings him great joy to hear about homes being completed for the underprivileged,\u201d she shared.
\nThe CM emphasized that the program offers an easy application process, a three-month grace period for construction, and loan repayment in installments. She expressed concern that many families in Punjab still lack access to land and reiterated that initially 2,000 applicants will be given free plots, with more to follow.
\nCM Maryam Nawaz highlighted that no previous government had built 34,000 homes even over an entire term. \u201cA sense of security comes with having a home,\u201d she said. \u201cBut for a common person, owning one remains a distant dream \u2014 something we are determined to change.\u201d Under \u2018Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar\u2019, existing plot holders from 1 to 10 marla can also apply for construction loans to build their homes.
\nEarlier, Provincial Minister for Housing Bilal Yasin briefed the audience on the program\u2019s financial scope, noting that Rs 36 billion in loans is being allocated to construct homes for 33,500 beneficiaries. He thanked Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif for her leadership and unwavering dedication to the people of Punjab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
