It is very unfortunate that our PM portal and housing projrct are not user friendly like US & other countries. I can contact with US president and definitely replies but it very difficult in Pakistan to comunicate with our PM or president. Why we so backward.
Give your feedback on Pm portal explain the problem. USA probably hasn’t been doing for 100s Of Years human development, Andy listening to public but in Pakistan it’s something new so give them your feedback back explaining your problems.
