A KBCA release said on Friday that the “Areesha City” project in Gadap Town was being executed without the mandatory NOC, adding that a show-cause notice to the builders and developers concerned had already been issued with directives to stop publicity, sale and purchase of the relevant properties forthwith.

The builders’ licence could be cancelled and the site office sealed off/demolished if the directives were not complied with, the KBCA release said.
