Following Lyari building collapse and the subsequent arrests of officials and staff, the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) has now decided to launch a citywide operation against illegal constructions.
The SBCA has announced a decisive action plan to demolish all illegally constructed and under-construction buildings across Karachi.
The demolitions will be carried out at the expense of the property owners, and in cases of non-payment, the costs will be recovered under tax liabilities.
According to the plan, the anti-encroachment operations will begin in densely populated areas, with support from district administrations.
SBCA has assured that all safety protocols will be strictly followed during the demolitions.
Furthermore, the SBCA has directed all Additional Directors, District Directors, Regional Directors, and the Director of Demolition to begin implementation immediately.
The authority will submit daily progress reports to the government regarding the operations.
