In a notification, Urban Planning Director Ijaz Ahmad Sheikh has warned the public that some builders are violating laws and exploiting the people for “illicit gains”.  Many of the project developers didn’t seek any no objection certificate (NOC) from the CDA before starting the construction work.

Sheikh said that such illegal developments are causing people “financial loss and mental anguish”.

The authority has even asked authorities do not provide such projects with gas or phone connections.
