Karachi’s Surjani Town would be the first to have a housing scheme for the middle and lower middle class families. KDA Director General Dr Saifur Rehman said the process required comprehensive planning. “A proper and inclusive working plan is needed to launch any housing scheme in Karachi as the KDA has a track record of providing quality housing schemes in the past,” Rehman told Samaa Digital.
