Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s construction package’s time period may be extended as the federal government has finalised proposals in this regard, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday.

The Package’s time period is going to be over on December 31.

According to the sources, registration of 209 projects, totaling around Rs89 billion, is underway under the PM’s construction package.

Out of these, 107 are located in Punjab, 61 in Sindh and seven in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), while 34 construction projects are located in the federal capital.

Earlier, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Saturday that over 330 projects worth Rs116 billion had been registered under Prime Minister’s construction package in the country so far,

Sources in the FBR say the construction sector is the driving force behind the country’s economy. However, they add, due to the coronavirus pandemic, PM’s construction package could not produce the desired results.
