PESHAWAR: A legal dispute has arisen over the allotment of houses and flats of the Workers Welfare Fund on the basis of ownership.
The PTI government has initiated the allotment of housing units by formulating a policy without amending the 1971 Workers Welfare Fund Ordinance.
The Supreme Court had struck down the PPP government decision in 2006 and again issued a restraining order on an application against allotment of housing units on an ownership basis in 2017. Prime Minister Imran Khan has recently inaugurated two projects of the Fund in Islamabad and Peshawar.
