LAHORE Following yet another strike on an official building in the Model Town Housing Society in Lahore on Monday, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said that all safe houses will be shifted from residential areas to a complex being built in the Choong area of the city.
       
Speaking to the media outside the Jinnah Hospital, Sanaullah said that this was not an operational safe house, instead it was being used as residence for Special Investigation Agency officials.

He said that a committee has been constituted to assess the damages to the houses in Model Town and that all residents will be compensated for the losses incurred.

He said that terrorists were being funded and supported by foreign countries including the Indian intelligence agency.

Meanwhile, the Punjab governor condemned the blast and demanded that the Punjab Government should chalk out a policy to curb terrorist networks in the province instead of supporting them to increase PML-Ns vote bank.
