Karachi: The Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) has established a Rain Emergency Centre to tackle the issue of dilapidated buildings that might be endangered by the rain – a news source reported.
The staff has been instructed to remain on duty around the clock after the seasonal rains begin. The people residing in dilapidated buildings have been cautioned to temporarily vacate the premises to ensure that no untoward incident happens due to the rain.
