Calamity-hit Chitralis to get plots in Rawalpindi

CHITRAL: The Northern Citizen Community Board (NCCB) would provide plots of land in Rawalpindi for the natural calamity-hit residents of Chitral district.

Speaking at a press conference here on Sunday, NCCB Chairman Syed Ahmed Khan and other members Sirajuddin Rabbani, Sajjad Hussain said that a green housing project was being launched for the climate-change affected Chitralis near Rawalpindi. They said that flood affected people who could not be relocated in other parts of the district would get farm houses in Al-Kausar Valley Project. The NCCB members said the organisation had conducted research for more than a year to ensure provision of Chitral-like cultural environment to the people to be relocated to the valley. They said 100 two-kanal plots would be transferred to the female heads of families free of cost during the pilot project. Thirty plots would be provided to Kalash families, they added.
