Karachi: The Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) will deal with all industrial zones in Karachi as a single zone, according to a news source. SBCA Director General Zafar Ahsan said that this measure was being taken to facilitate the construction of industrial structures.
He revealed this information at the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI); adding that this move will help make processing all construction-related queries much smoother. He emphasised on the importance of industrialisation and expressed his views that it is the best solution to the current problems faced by Pakistan’s economy.
