LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar said on Tuesday that the provincial government has decided to set up shelter homes for the homeless in every district of the province. “Prime Minister Imran Khan has been taking measures for the welfare of the underprivileged segment of society,” he said in a statement issued here. “On the directions of the PM, the construction of shelter homes in Lahore and Rawalpindi is continuing in full swing and I am personally supervising this project,” he added. In December, PM Khan had asked Buzdar to set up tents for people sleeping on footpaths and provide them food until permanent shelters were built. Prior to this, the premier had performed in Lahore the ground-breaking ceremony of the shelter homes for the down-and-out segments of society who spend nights on the streets under the open sky.
