The programme, according to the minister's remarks during its launch, had two goals: "to provide affordable housing solutions for low-income families and to honour the martyrdom of national heroes."

Director General Muhammad Yasin Shar of the Malir Development Authority, who was also present, praised the initiative as a monumental success that heralded a new era in public service.
