PESHAWAR: Taking exception to the delay in issuance of no-objection certificates (NOCs) to the private sector for construction of high-rise buildings, Chief Minister Mahmood Khan on Monday directed the officials to ensure that these documents were issued within the given timeline. He said this while chairing a meeting of the Local Government and Rural Development Department, said an official handout.
The chief minister directed the officials to follow the relevant rules and by-laws to facilitate the private sector investors to attract investment to the province. He said the government had promulgated laws and put in place a regularity regime for attracting maximum private sector investment. The implementation of the relevant laws in letter and spirit was the foremost responsibility of the departments and entities concerned, he maintained.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the performance of the tehsil municipal administrations and other subordinate entities of the Local Government Department with regard to the issuance of NOCs to commercial buildings, the chief minister said hurdles were being created at the lower level for the investors instead of facilitating them.
