The Prime Minister has asked ministries, sectors, and localities to focus on accelerating the movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses to ensure the completion before August 31 this year.

In his freshly-issued official dispatch, the PM required localities to mobilize all resources and speed up the process of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in their areas.

The remaining houses that have not been rebuilt must all begin construction by June 20, to ensure completion by August 31.

So far, sectors and localities have supported the replacement of over 205,000 temporary and dilapidated houses, with more than new 147,000 houses completed and over 58,000 houses under construction or about to begin. Twenty-one out of 63 localities no longer have any temporary or dilapidated houses.
