DISTRIBUTION OF HOUSES TO FLOOD VICTIMS AT DISTRICT LAYYAH

During my last visit of District Layyah in December, 2010, it was committed with the people of flood affected area that Jannat-ul-Firdous will provide houses to the shelterless people. The survey was carried out by the Project Manager and the detail of most deserving people was prepared. Initially the construction work of 5 houses was started during the month of January, 2011. The Project Manager informed me on 10th of February, 2011 that houses are ready to handover to the affected people. So I decided to proceed Layyah. We JUF asked the Project Manager to arrange food items for 150 people which will be distributed on our arrival at village Esri, District Layyah and in this regard a reasonable funds were sent to him.
