Housing ministry to change accommodation rules for govt employees

ISLAMABAD, AUG 17: The Ministry of Housing and Works has made a significant decision to amend the accommodation rules, specifically targeting the transfer of government-owned housing.

According to reliable sources, the ministry has prepared a summary for the abolition of Rule 15-B, which currently allows government houses to be transferred from father to son or daughter.

This proposed change, aimed at ending the inheritance of government accommodation, will officially come into effect once the Cabinet approves the summary. Sources indicate that an official notification of this change is expected to be issued next week.

The decision to modify Rule 15-B has sparked concern among government employees, with reports of ongoing consultations regarding a possible legal challenge against the new rules. The affected employees may explore legal recourse in an attempt to prevent the implementation of these changes.
