All building plans approved by Karachi Building Control Authority (KBCA) during last six months have been declared illegal by City District Government Karachi (CDGK). According to a press release issued by CDGK on Monday, the KBCA, in violation of the rules specified in the Sindh Local Government Ordinance, did not transfer the amount that has been received for approval of building plans to the CDGK under the head of betterment charges.
It said this action has put acute financial pressure on CDGK and it was unable to pay the salaries to its employees. Therefore, CDGK has decided to declare all building plans approved by KBCA during last six months illegal and void and it was also giving its action legal status through city district council.--PR
