ABAD calls for Pakistan's government to support construction in Karachi

The Association of Builders and Developers of Pakistan (ABAD), one of the main cement consumers in the country has called on Prime Minister Imran Khan, Federal Finance Minister Asad Umar and Syed Murad Ali Shah, the chief minister of Sindh to save the construction industry from crisis.

In an appeal, the association has pointed out that the construction industry has been suffering due to the ban on the construction of high-rise building in Karachi. That has caused financial losses to the members of the association and rendering jobless to the workers.

The Supreme Court has reportedly banned the construction of high rise buildings for a number of reasons including the shortage of water in the metropolitan of Karachi. The ABAD submitted various suggestions to the government for resolving the issue.
