Master Plan Authority of Mega City Karachi
*“The Master Plan Authority has been notified, but where is the Master Plan?” the Chairman Public Accounts Committee Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, while chairing a meeting of the committee here at Sindh Assembly Building, questioned and directed to develop a futuristic master plan for Karachi.
“The MPA was established in 2019 but despite five years no act has been drafted nor BoG constituted”. DG Audit Sindh raised the point that without any Act and Board of Governors, it cannot be considered as a legal body.
- The Master Plan Authority (MPA) was established in 2019 to make a master plan for Karachi.
- “5 years have passed, and no act of the authority has been drafted nor BoG formed.”
“The MPA on basis of those NOCs issues final NOC” Chaudhry Nisar Ahmed Khuhro emphasized that builders should not be issued NOCs for buildings without fulfilment of all building codes and proper planning, later monitoring to ensure compliance is also needed.
- “No-objection certificate (NOC) of the buildings are issued by Sindh Building Control Authority.”
- “The MPA on basis of those NOCs issues final NOC” Chaudhry Nisar Ahmed Khuhro emphasized.
