KARACHI: Officers of the Sindh Building Control Authority have been involved in the corruption of illegal construction of buildings in Sindh’s capital.

These officers do not take actions when the building is vacant but as soon as the citizen start staying in the buildings these officers ask for a bribe and if no one pays the officers, these officers threatened them that the building will be demolished.
The accused, Director Ali Mehdi demands bribe for illegal construction on RW 58, 59 and 59/1, as a result, the office in Naziabad Kausar Niazi Colony was evacuated last night as no bribe was given to the officers.

Their illegal construction has resulted in a 4-storey building that may collapse at any time due to tilt. Fire brigade, rescue unit, and city wardens teams reached the affected building. Vice-Chairman Syed Shakir Ali and UC22 chairman Nadeem Hidayat Hashmi are present at the affected building.
