Karachi (HRNW) — Authorities in District East have imposed a strict ban on the sale and purchase of illegal portions and unauthorized floors. This move aims to curb unsafe construction practices and protect residents from long-term structural risks.
For years, unapproved building expansions have caused overcrowding, excessive strain on utilities, and serious safety hazards. Many buildings exceeded their approved designs, increasing the risk of accidents and structural failures.
Officials say this enforcement drive is a crucial step toward restoring urban order, ensuring safer housing, and preventing exploitation by unethical builders. Strict legal action will be taken against violators, and individuals involved in illegal property transactions will be held accountable.
