LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari said on Tuesday that more than 140,000 homes are close to completion under the government’s flagship “Apni Chhat Apna Ghar” scheme.Speaking at a joint press conference with Punjab Housing Minister Bilal Yasin, Bukhari highlighted the provincial government’s commitment to public welfare and transparency.“The fiscal year 2025-26 budget is historic,” Bokhari said. “Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz treats every single rupee as a public trust and sees herself as answerable to the people.”She took a swipe at previous governments, saying, “Those who promised five million houses couldn’t even build fifty. In just one year, we’ve built 40,000 homes.”Bokhari emphasised that the CM prioritised welfare over politics. “There’s no money set aside for protests or political stunts—only for the people,” she added.
