Governor Sindh for new law to solve issues of construction.

KARACHI: Governor Sindh Kamran Khan Tossori has suggested that a law should be enacted to
solve issues of construction industry because it is not fair to punish builders, investors and
allottees for any wrongdoing of any government department for which Association of Builders
and Developers (ABAD) should take initiative and that stern action should be taken against land
grabbers.
He was addressing a meeting at ABAD House on Wednesday. Chairman ABAD Altaf Tai, Vice
Chairman Nadeem Jeewa, Chairman Southern Region Raheel Rinch, Vice chairman Hyderabad
Sub Region Faraz Memon, former chairmen Hanif Memon, Fayyaz Ilyas, Junaid Ashraf Taloo,
Maulana Bashir Farooqi, officers form SBCA and a large number of ABAD members were
present on this occasion.
The Governor said that businessmen, traders, builders and developers in Karachi are facing a
number of problems. Any building in Karachi is razed on an order of the Supreme Court of
Pakistan and a letter of Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA), he said adding that enactment
of new law in inevitable to solve issues like Nasla Tower and for that ABAD should take
initiative so that Sindh Assembly could pass the law. He said that SBCA is issuing NOC to
Behria Town within fifteen days and SBCA is bound to issue NOC within fifteen days in
Karachi, too. It is good that SBCA is issuing NOCs to ABAD members and it has issued almost
270 NOCs.
He warned land grabbers to stop their activities or get out of the country. He said that he himself
will take action against land grabbers at midnight if necessary.

Addressing the event, Chairman ABAD Altaf Tai said that we have new hope in Governor Sindh
Kamran Khan Tissori because he understands construction industry. He said that if the last
Governor Sindh would have signed a summery to regularize buildings in Karachi, Nasla Tower
would have been standing at this moment. He said that we demand common policy across the
country as NOC is Punjab is very easy to get but in Sindh it is like crossing Himalaya. He
requested Governor Sindh to take steps to get approved remaining NOCs as soon as early
because SBCA has issued only 120 NOCs during last one year. He said that no slums should be
in Karachi as it is a cosmopolitan city. He also demanded to curtail cartelization of construction
materials like cement and steel.
Chairman Southern Region Raheel Rinch host the program and Vice Chairman Nadeem Jeewa
thanked distinguished guest.
