About Ashiana Housing
Ashiana (also spelled Aashiyana) is the Punjab government's low-cost housing programme, launched in 2010 under then chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and run through the government-owned Punjab Land Development Company (PLDC). It was aimed at families earning under Rs20,000 a month, with ready homes sold on instalments.
In Lahore the first scheme was built at Saroba Atari, where 3,000 houses were under construction in May 2011. The later Ashiana-i-Iqbal scheme near Barki Road, planned for more than 6,000 homes on about 3,100 kanals, stalled after a contract dispute and became the subject of a NAB case that ended in acquittals in 2023.
- The scheme name 'Ashiana Quaid' and its location on Ferozepur Road could not be confirmed from an official or news source; only the first scheme at Saroba Atari is confirmed.
- Location reports for Ashiana-i-Iqbal differ: near Barki Road (Geo, LHC bail judgment) and Muloani Harlan near Darbar Baba Noor Shah, 672 kanals (Pakistan Today, 6 Feb 2018).
- Ashiana-i-Iqbal was the subject of NAB's Rs14 billion reference; the accountability court acquitted Shahbaz Sharif and the co-accused on 18 Nov 2023 (Dawn). Buyers of units should check status with PLDC/LDA.
- No official PLDC contact page could be opened, so no office details are given.
