LAHORE, Sept 3: The City District Government of Lahore (CDGL) seeks the demolition of dangerous commercial and residential buildings allowing their owners to submit new reconstruction plans.

The decision was taken by CDGL’s high level design committee on Tuesday.

“Officials will visit such sites and personally meet the owners to get demolition and reconstruction works done,” District Coordination Officer (DCO) Naseem Sadiq said. “However, the owners are to get their new plans approved by the design committee.” The participants discussed 21 cases of designs of new buildings, approved 13 cases and rejected four. It delayed action on other four cases.
