LAHORE: The government has suspended the notification of taking over building control of 15 prime roads in the city district by the deputy commissioner-led high level design committee reportedly over the concerns shown by the Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD) of Pakistan.
The association had written a complaint to Prime Minister Imran Khan against the notification.
“On Jan 23, Deputy Commissioner Mudassir Riaz Malik had issued a notification, declaring 15 city roads to be part of the areas controlled by design committee. However, the notification was suspended after the PM took notice of ABAD’s complaint to him that had termed the move against the spirit of facilitating business something on the priority list of the government,” an official source told Dawn on Thursday.
