New
townships for the disadvantaged Eastern Muslims
[October
26, 2004
- 07.30 GMT] National
Housing Development Authority (NHDA) has launched on several projects to
uplift the living conditions of village dwellers in the Eastern districts. A
majority of the populace in these rural areas are Muslims. The President has
allocated a sum of 15 Million rupees from the President’s Fund to help
accelerate activities and complete them by the end of the current Month of
Ramadan, particularly work related to housing and drinking water.
Three
housing complexes with 100 units each are under construction; the project
cost is estimated to be Rs. 45 million. The NHDA ensures the availability of
water, accessibility and other social infrastructure for these housing
estates. A health centre, a school and a market centre will be also
constructed in each housing complex. The first of the three model village
expected to be completed soon is the Islamabad Housing project in Kalmunai.
