Lyar’s Baghdadi Police arrived at the office of S Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) to retrieve the records of various building structures in the area after the recent tragedy of a five-story building collapse that claimed the lives of 27 residents.

Sources reveal that police demanded all the related documentation of the buildings that were potentially in dangerous condition or had suspicious construction approvals and permits.

Police seemed committed to identifying those responsible for dangerous constructions that pose a risk to public lives and safety.

According to the sources, several SBCA officials linked to the collapsed building case are absconding or avoiding assisting in the investigation. However, Police have made no arrests so far.

Police officials said that the main objective of the operation is to gather evidence and documentation to advance legal proceedings against those found guilty of negligence or corruption.

The recent building collapse had sparked a widespread rage among the citizens to hold the culprits accountable. The public also demands a permanent solution for substandard construction, incautious builders and corrupt practices in government institutions.
