Govt Impose New Construction Restrictions in Karachi and Sindh
In a significant development, the Sindh provincial government has swiftly rolled out a series of stringent measures aimed at reshaping the architectural landscape. These measures encompass a wide array of structures, ranging from residential homes to sprawling commercial complexes, all falling under the umbrella of the new regulations.
Under the guidance of Sindh’s Minister of Local Government, Murtaza Wahab, an immediate halt has placed on the approval process for architectural designs for all types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and even industrial. This move set to have a far-reaching impact on upcoming construction projects and reflects the government’s proactive approach towards urban development.
Furthermore, the restrictions extend beyond the blueprints themselves, encompassing comprehensive building plans and layouts. This step, effective as of the second order, is indicative of the government’s meticulous approach to controlling and guiding the future construction landscape.
The reverberations of these measures not confined to Karachi alone. Both the Karachi Development Authority and Malir Development Authority have directed to adhere to these new regulations. Moreover, the influence extends to other areas as well, with the Hyderabad and Sehwan Development Authority’s Town Planning Department poised to follow suit.
Intriguingly, even the incorporation of plots within these urban plans will be subject to the newly imposed restrictions. This holistic approach underscores the authorities’ determination to shape the urban environment in a more structured and regulated manner.
