It is our responsibility to ensure the rehabilitation of deprived segments of the society and the religion of Islam has also given a message of treating such people in a kind and benevolent manner. The PTI government is taking necessary steps to promote this passion and the establishment of a welfare project like the Panah Gah is an important step in this regard, he added.

Usman Buzdar said that shelter-homes project will be soon completed in Lahore and added that he has also issued necessary directions to the concerned authorities by visiting these homes. The purpose of constructing the shelter-homes is to save the homeless people from the harsh weather conditions as well as to provide them food and shelter for survival.
The shelter-homes of the provincial capital will be the state-of-the-art initiative of the Punjab government, he added. He said that government has provided necessary shelter to the people who were earlier forced to sleep on the roads by arranging temporary shelter-homes where inmates are also provided dinner and breakfast. Similarly, free medical treatment is also provided besides arranging transport facility for such people. We will change the destiny of the people by taking necessary guidance from the visionary approach of Prime Minister Imran Khan and the rights of the deprived segments will be given back to them, the Chief Minister concluded.
