Nasla Tower: Karachi police raid SBCA headquarter on top court orders

KARACHI – Day after Pakistan’s apex court orders action against the builder of Nasla Tower, law enforcers raided offices of the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) headquarters.

Reports in local media said the Karachi police have raided the Sindh Building Control Authority’s (SBCA) headquarter in the provincial capital.
