Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) has issued notices to 20 property owners for illegal construction. According to RCB spokesman, several raids have been conducted by RCB, building control department teams and the owners of buildings and structures constructed illegally have been issued notices.
The staff conducted raids in several areas including Peshawar Road, Tench Bhatta, Gulshan Iqbal Colony, Habib Colony, British Homes, Afshan Colony, Masrial Road, Allama Iqbal Colony, Tench Bhatta and Pirwadhai and the building rules violators were served notices as RCB administration is taking strict action in accordance with the law against illegal constructions in Cantt areas.
He said the ongoing operation against illegal constructions in RCB areas has been accelerated on the special instructions of Cantonment Executive Officer (CEO) Faheem Zafar.
He said, after solid steps taken in this regard, the revenue generation has also been increased considerably as now the citizens are submitting their building plans to get formal approval.
The citizens should not violate the rules otherwise stern action would be taken against the violators and no relaxation would be given to anyone, he added.
Building Control Department also issued 16 notices to the residents of dangerous and old buildings in Kamalabad, Tench Bhatta, Umar Farooq Colony, Afshan Colony and other areas, he added. The CEO had ordered the department concerned to identify buildings with weak foundations and walls as such buildings might collapse due to heavy rainfall and become dangerous for the residents.
