According to details, plot owners had set up illegal shops in the residential area at the back of the centre in flagrant violation of Islamabad Capital Territory Building Control Regulations, 2020.
In this regard, the owners of the said plots were issued show-cause notices, however, they were not complied with by the owners. The BCS has sealed the entrances of these plots on the violation of non-conforming use.
It is pertinent to mention here that the opening of shops at the backside of the centre is not only a violation of the approved by-laws but also a matter of public concern.
