Imran Khan noted that work is in progress to provide better residential facilities to the dwellers of slums in Islamabad under Naya Pakistan Housing Project. He said that the aim is to provide them better civic facilities and improve their standards of living.
The prime minister regretted that problems relating to increase in population, expansion of the city and its better management were totally ignored in the past, which he added, resulted in extinction of green areas and irregular construction.
