KARACHI, Sept 28: The city government will set up a ready-made concrete material plant to ensure better, stronger and quality construction in the metropolis.

This was announced by Chief Controller of Buildings Rauf Akhtar Farooqi while speaking at a meeting at the KBCA office here on Friday.

He said that the establishment of the plant would not only help maintain quality and stability of buildings, but would also give a boost to the business as the material would offer cost-effective construction. He said the plant was being set up on the directive of City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal.
