NAB chair takes notice of illegal constructions around Quaid's mausoleum

KARACHI: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairperson Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal on Friday took notice of illegal constructions around Quaid-e-Azam's mausoleum.

Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal told the NAB's director-general, Najaf Mirza, to conduct an inquiry into the illegal constructions around the mausoleum. According to a press release, the anti-corruption watchdog would also probe the role of the mausoleum's management in the constructions.

The press release said NAB would investigate why the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) was not informed about the constructions by those responsible for the offence.

NAB said it would also investigate whether the SBCA took any action against those responsible for the china-cutting and illegal constructions. The press release added that the body would also find out whether the building authority took action against its officers who were responsible for the constructions or not.
