KARACHI, May 9: An open kutchery was held under the chairmanship of Senior Controller Ali Zafar Qadri on Wednesday, on the directives of the Chief Controller, Karachi Building Control Authority (KBCA), Rauf Akhtar Farooqi, a press release said.
Orders were issued for post-inspection action against the illegal fourth floor construction at Ghulam Mohammed Jallundhry building in Bohra Pir.
Residents had complained that the building was old and its structure weak, hence it could not support any further construction.
Regarding complaints against the construction of project Al-Najeebi Electronics Bazaar on plot No 33 and 34, sheet No PR-2, Preedy Street, it was informed that the matter is sub-judice and the KBCA’s legal advisor was asked to look into the issue.
Imran Ahmed, in his complaint against Lakhani Deluxe Tower project, said the builder and his office staff had made a false statement that it was located on a 350 feet wide road, whereas it was located on a 40 feet wide road.
On the complainant’s request that his money — paid for booking seven flats and three shops — be reimbursed, the senior controller asked the officer concerned to get the matter resolved.
