Earlier this month, Prime Minister Imran Khan had performed ground breaking in Lahore for the establishment of Panah Gah (shelter home) for the down-and-out segments of society who spend nights on the streets under the open sky.
"Today I laid the foundation for first of five shelters for the homeless in Lahore and one in Pindi to be followed by shelters in other cities. We are committed to building a social net for our poor citizens so everyone has a shelter over his/her head and access to health and education," the PM had tweeted.
