KARACHI, March 19: The Karachi Building Control Authority (KBCA) has declared two projects illegal and cancelled their NOCs, licences of the builders and stopped construction work at the sites.
A KBCA statement issued on Wednesday said that the NOC for advertisement and sale of plots in Mateen Complex project on plot No.19-A (survey No.47), Block Nos. 2, 7, 8, 9 and 14, Shah Latif Town, had already expired in 1998.
The owners, under their “Aap Ka Ghar” scheme, are accepting booking of plot No.3, 10, 11, 12 and 15 and running an advertisement campaign in this regard illegally, according to the statement.
The KBCA, taking action against the builders, M/s Samra Corporation, has cancelled their licence and demolished the site office.
A case has also been instituted against the project’s owners/builders.
Meanwhile, the KBCA has declared booking, sale and advertisement of the open plots by Ya Rehman Associates in sectors 8 and 9 of Surjani Town. The firm’s site office in Pioneer Arcade has been demolished.
Notices issued
The KBCA has issued show-cause notices to the owners/builders of three approved projects in Gulshan-i-Iqbal and Gadap towns for violating building rules.
The projects are: Grey Noor Tower and Grey Mall on commercial plot No.2 (two acres) in Sector 29; Fatima Ali Tower on plot No.1, sector 25-B, Secheme-33; and Spring Residency on plot No.NC-5, Deh Bhitti Amri, Scheme-33.
