Lahore: The Punjab government will introduce peri-urban housing scheme for low-income groups to have their housing properties throughout the province in the next fiscal year 2021-22, provincial finance minister Makhdoom Hashim Jawan Bakht told the budget session.

“A new house will be available in Rs1.4 million approximately. An amount of Rs3 billion has been earmarked under infrastructure development head in this regard,” the minister said.
