The Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) has restored its town-level administrative system in Karachi, replacing the district-based structure that had been in place since 2010.
The authority has reorganized its operations around Karachi’s 25 towns and appointed directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, and senior building inspectors to oversee building control at the local level.
According to the SBCA, the change aims to curb illegal construction, improve enforcement of building regulations, and make administrative matters more transparent.
The authority said the revised structure would also help resolve public complaints promptly, with officials assigned to manage affairs within individual towns.
The arrangement covers towns across Karachi, including Saddar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, North Nazimabad, Korangi, Malir, Lyari, Orangi, and Gadap.
A town-based system previously operated during the tenures of former Karachi nazims Naimatullah Khan and Mustafa Kamal, when the city was divided into 18 towns.
That structure was discontinued in 2010 following Manzoor Qadir’s appointment as SBCA director general. The authority then shifted to a district-level administrative model.
The latest reorganization brings back town-level oversight, this time aligned with Karachi’s current 25-town setup.
