So, the government owned housing project that was to become an icon of the present government\u2019s commitment to make the people of Punjab better off, is quickly turning into a slum. Looks like, we need the CM once again to settle things down, even if it is just for the time being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tall and fancy claims made for Ashiana Housing Scheme, the low cost housing project meant for people earning less than PKR 20,000 per month, have been exposed, reported news sources on February 19, 2015.
