SUKKUR: Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Saturday inspected houses being built under the Sindh Peoples Housing scheme for flood-affected people in Sukkur.

Accompanied by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and Energey Minister Nasir Shah, he also distributed land ownership documents among dozens of flood-hit people, a majority of them were women, in the Nichanpur village in Sukkur.

The PPP chairman was briefed that more than 80,000 houses were being constructed in Sukkur, Pano Aqil, Rohri and other areas for flood-hit people.

“We used to build other people’s houses, today we have built our own homes,” a mason from village Ali Wahan told the PPP chairman during his interaction with local artisans and masons in the village.

Women, who used to do embroidery and needlework, also explained their skills and work to the PPP chairman.

Similarly, those women, who have received house ownership titles, showed their documents to the PPP leader.
