LAHORE – Prime Minister Imran Khan will announce mega poverty alleviation campaign in few days.
The premier while inaugurating first shelter home in Lahore, hinted at launching the first-of-its-kind mega poverty alleviation venture within seven to 10 days to bring people out of abject poverty in the country.
“The poverty alleviation package will be the most important component in the PTI government’s 100-day performance to be unveiled before the nation within the next few days,” Mr. Khan said.
He said it would be a coordinated effort of all the state organs already working on the project. “All the relevant state organs will work under one umbrella,” he said.

The cricketer turned politician further said, Pakistan has come out of financial crisis and laying the foundation stone for the first shelter home Panah Gah near the railway station would be the first step towards transforming Pakistan into a welfare state.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” he quoted a Chinese proverb.

Mr Khan said the Panah Gah project would benefit the homeless and needy. The visitors would be offered quality food to be provided by philanthropists.
“Such people were never taken care of in previous governments,” he lamented. He said the other shelters would be established at Icchra, Chauburji, Data Darbar and Shahdara.
