"The promise of 'Apni Chat Apna Ghar' has been fulfilled, and 50,000 citizens have now received the financial support they need to build their homes," she said. "اپنی چھت اپنا گھر" پاکستان کی تاریخ کا کامیاب ترین ہاؤسنگ پراجیکٹ... وزیراعلیٰ پنجاب مریم نواز شریف نے 6 ماہ میں اپنی چھت اپنا گھر کا وعدہ پورا کر دیا! — Government of Punjab (@GovtofPunjabPK) August 6, 2025 The event saw thousands of families who have benefited from the scheme, including many women and children. CM Maryam personally met with families who have already started constructing their homes under the project, offering her congratulations and encouragement. "Many of these families, including a rickshaw driver and a woman who spoke of her dream home, have expressed heartfelt gratitude," said the CM. One recipient from Rawalpindi emotionally recounted how his dream of owning a house was finally realised, thanking both Nawaz Sharif and Maryam for making it possible. The scheme provides loans for homes ranging from five to ten marlas, with more than Rs74 billion in interest-free loans already disbursed. The first phase of the project has seen a 99% loan recovery rate. آج جب میں نے اپنی چھت اپنا گھر سے مستفید ہونے والوں سے پوچھا کہ حاضرین میں سے کون کون اپنے گھر کی تعمیر مکمل کر چکا ہے تو ہال میں موجود تمام تین ہزار افراد نے ہاتھ کھڑے کر دیے۔ میرے لیے اس سے زیادہ باعثِ تسکین شاید ہی کوئی لمحہ ہو ! — Maryam Nawaz Sharif (@MaryamNSharif) August 6, 2025 In the briefing, it was shared that more than 37,000 families have already received both installments of their loans, and over 52,000 homes are currently under construction.

Punjab govt grants lifetime pensions to widows
Listen to article The Punjab government has raised the provincial minimum wage to Rs40,000 per month and ensured lifetime pensions for widows of government employees. The reforms were adopted during the 28th cabinet meeting, presided over by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, where a comprehensive 130-point agenda was approved. The cabinet approved the allocation of 1,220 flats for industrial workers in Sunder, Kasur and Taxila labour colonies to be distributed through balloting, while firmly rejecting suggestions to charge workers for housing. It also instructed officials to take immediate steps to construct an additional 3,000 flats free of cost for these workers. وزیراعلیٰ پنجاب مریم نواز شریف کی زیر صدارت صوبائی کابینہ کا 28واں اجلاس۔۔۔ — Government of Punjab (@GovtofPunjabPK) August 5, 2025 Education policy saw a major update with official assessments confirmed for Grade V and formal examinations for Grade VIII. Meanwhile, lifelong pensions were approved for widows of government employees, enhancing social protection. A significant wage reform was also approved, with a uniform minimum monthly salary of Rs40,000 set for 102 categories of skilled, semi-skilled and other workers. In recognition of flood rescue efforts, the CM announced Rs50,000 bonuses for the rescue worker while praising the agency's performance and underscored the government's commitment to supporting frontline workers. Expanding on prison reform, the cabinet sanctioned formal industries within correctional facilities where inmates will receive wages, and directed the establishment of a third-party monitoring system for jail operations.

Worker safety was also addressed through the adoption of the Punjab Occupational Safety and Health Rules 2024, marking a first in the province. Maryam ordered the creation of a specialised enforcement force to ensure compliance in high-risk sectors such as construction and sewer operations. She emphasised that enacting laws alone is not sufficient—implementation and enforcement at every level are essential, as the lives of poor workers are invaluable. Government officials further approved child labour restrictions via the Punjab Child Labour (Prohibition) Rules 2024, unified appointment procedures for key university administrators, AI‑based traffic systems set to roll out within 90 days, expansion of WASA services to 13 new cities, paid internships for hospital nurses, and various legislative measures covering recruitment, telecom leasing, sugarcane research and local government acts.

Housing sector under strain
EDITORIAL: The grievous state of the country's housing sector points to a crisis defined by deepening housing insecurity, unplanned urban sprawl, chronic institutional neglect, unaffordable options and substandard living conditions. A recent report by the House Building Finance Corporation highlights some of the key drivers behind the alarming shortfall of affordable, quality housing across Pakistan. It has specifically noted how rising inflation, elevated interest rates and increased taxes on property transactions have choked activity in the housing market, leaving sales and bookings nearly frozen. The study specifically paints a grim picture of housing finance accessibility for low-income groups. With current construction costs standing at Rs4,300 per square feet, even a modest 1,000-square-feet home is priced at a whopping Rs4.3 million. At a 15 percent interest rate, this translates into a prohibitive monthly mortgage payment of Rs57,139, well beyond the reach of most low-income households, who, based on standard affordability metrics, can allocate only around Rs9,165 to housing. Even if they somehow manage to cobble together a 30 percent down payment of Rs1.3 million, the remaining Rs3 million loan would still require monthly payments of Rs39,997, well above their entire monthly income. To make matters worse, the private sector offers few housing finance options for the low-income segment, and government efforts to introduce or expand cost-effective financing mechanisms have also been limited. As a result, affordable housing remains largely inaccessible to those who need it most. Instead, mortgage market growth continues to disproportionately benefit higher-income groups, while the broader sector remains hampered by deep-rooted structural and procedural inefficiencies that hinder inclusive access to housing finance. The crisis in the sector, however, goes well beyond the regulatory and financial hurdles to cost-effective housing. Our cities and towns are dotted with substandard, unsafe and poorly constructed dwellings that fail to meet basic standards of safety and livability. This deteriorating housing landscape both contributes to, and is worsened by, the twin existential challenges facing the nation: the galloping population growth rate and the increasingly unpredictable impacts of climate change. Urban housing, especially, continues to deteriorate in quality as population growth outstrips planned development, pushing millions into poorly built homes, and fuelling the rapid proliferation of slums. Here, millions are trapped in a cycle of deprivation, lacking access to essentials like clean water, sanitation, electricity, healthcare, and education. As the social and physical structures of our cities fray, we face a dangerous convergence of poverty, disease, environmental decay, crime and widening inequality. It isn't only informal settlements that suffer from poor-quality housing. Formal housing, especially in low-income neighbourhoods, is also in disrepair, with building codes routinely flouted, often due to corruption and weak enforcement. This has had deadly consequences, as seen in the recent tragedy in Karachi's Lyari neighbourhood. While the incident prompted a flurry of inspections and statements from city and provincial authorities, the scale of the problem is vast and demands sustained, systemic action beyond reactive measures. Adding to these structural failings is the growing intensity of extreme weather events, making it all the more urgent to shift towards more climate-resilient, environmentally sustainable housing. This must be paired with critical upgrades to related infrastructure, such as drainage systems, embankments, flood barriers, stormwater management, roads, and water supply networks. Instead, what we see is a persistent disregard for an integrated, holistic approach to urban planning and resilient construction. Slums continue to emerge along stormwater drains, while in recent years, even upscale housing societies have encroached upon natural waterways, amplifying monsoon-related destruction. Taken together, the challenges of affordability, poor quality, weak regulation, environmental vulnerability and systemic neglect have left Pakistan's housing sector deeply fractured, demanding urgent, holistic and long-term reform at every level of policy and planning.
