Lahore (Web Desk): Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday launched the "Apni Chat Apna Ghar" scheme, aimed at providing affordable housing to the people of Punjab.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony in Lahore, she announced that the Punjab government will offer interest-free loans of up to Rs1.5 million, repayable in easy installments over 7 years.

“There is no need to pay for the first three months,” the CM said, adding that those who take the loans will have to pay a maximum monthly instalment of Rs14,000.

She said that these loans will be available for the construction of houses on plots of up to 5 marlas in urban areas and up to 10 marlas in rural areas.

The Punjab CM also mentioned that citizens can apply for these loans through the Punjab Information Technology Board portal or by calling the toll-free number 080009100 for more information.

Maryam Nawaz emphasized that the long-awaited dream of "Apni Chat Apna Ghar" has now become a reality.

The chief minister added that her government will expand this scheme across Punjab within five years so that those who need houses “are able to get them”.

Maryam Nawaz also referred to the reduced electricity bills for consumers using between 200 and 500 units per month for the months of August and September, reiterating her administration’s commitment to extending relief to Punjab’s people.

The Punjab CM also revealed plans to introduce the largest solar program in the province's history starting next year.
