The names of retired and serving officers of the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA), who approved the Nasla Tower building plan built in violation of the law, have come to the fore.

Qadir, the builder of the high-rise, and Muzammil Manzoor, who got the building plan approved, are the frontmen, while SBCA director Nisar, who has now retired, gave the approval.

SBCA official Sarfaraz Hussain, who has also retired, issued a building permit. Farhan Qaiser currently serving as the SBCA director issued a no-objection certificate (NOC), while Safdar Magsi of the town planning department gave a go-ahead to the construction of the building. They ignored the fact that a portion of the high-rise would be built on an encroached piece of land.

It may be recalled that police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against SBCA, and a housing society over irregularities in the construction of Nasla Tower that is now being demolished on the orders of the SCP.
