Karachi:
The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) launched a campaign against illegal and unauthorized constructions, in particular high -rise buildings, inside Katchi Abadis which is its jurisdiction.
According to an official notification, issued by the office of the main director Katchi Abadis, the ministry has raised serious concerns concerning the growing number of buildings on several floors without construction plans approved by the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA). These constructions are illegal, violate existing regulations and constitute significant threats to public security.
It has been specified that the Department of Katchi Abadis only regularizes the possession of land in accordance with the approved provision plan (LOP), while the authority to approve the construction plans is based only with SBCA.
This action is aligned with the policy of the Sindh government to ensure uniform repression of illegal constructions and dangerous buildings to prevent any annoying incident.
Official communication has also been sent to Commissioner Karachi, president of the provincial disaster management authority, the mayor’s secretary and other key stakeholders for the necessary measures and follow -up.
