Earlier on August 9, Prime Minister Imran Khan had approved Panagah Strategy to expand the scope of Panagahs (shelter homes).
To facilitate labourers and daily wagers who need shelter, seveal Panagah facilities have been built up by the government countrywide. Panagahs not only provide shelter to the needy but also a two-time meal for them.
