KARACHI, March 20: Chief Controller of Buildings Brig A. S. Nasir has pledged that the Karachi Building Control Authority would be made more stable and a really institutionalized organization to be worth emulating by other departments.

Addressing a press briefing, Brig Nasir extended a note of warning that corrupt officials would be taken to task so that people could get relief.

The KBCA chief said that the City Government had brought in a parallel organization which could not function but the KBCA continued to remain there because it enjoyed legal status. He told the officials that they should not be afraid of anyone.

Brig Nasir said that rumours were floated to destroy this institution, but it survived because of those 20 per cent who were efficient, hard-working.

He announced that whatever revenues the KBCA would earn, would go to the city government after deduction for the KBCA's own requirements.

In one-and-a-half year, the Authority has earned Rs850 million out of which Rs650 million was given to the CDGK, he claimed. -APP
