Apart from active politics , Butt has also chosen to invest his cricketing fame and post-cricketing time in social , development and public welfare activities . In the aftermath of the devastating 2005 Kashmir earthquake that took away thousands of lives and ruined cities infrastructurally , Butt volunteered and paid a massive contribution to the re-settlement of the displaced . According to rough estimates , he constructed around 200 houses by hand and with the help of local communities often engaging/convincing investors from Lahore and other cities of influence for funding . Reportedly , he lived in the ruined city of Muzaffarabad and Bagh for around 2 years during the re-settlement process and went through the roughest chills of the region which even natives found immensely hard to survive without a real shelter
