ISLAMABAD: Only 17,000 housing units have so far been delivered across the country under the Naya Pakistan housing initiative of the previous government.

The number of housing units delivered so far is not even one percent of what was promised by the former government -- five million housing units. Interestingly, the Naya Pakistan Housing and Development Authority, which was made to realize this dream by the former government, has not yet delivered a single housing unit to anyone by itself.

However, a reputed NGO Akhuwat Foundation, which was partially assigned the job, has so far delivered 17,000 housing units to the needy ones till now. “The projects in Lahore, Sarghoda and Islamabad are being efficiently followed. Balloting for housing units in Farash town in Islamabad is also done and the list is being given to the local government department for handing over of the apartments to its clients
