Building Permits in Abbottabad & Dera Ismail Khan (D.I.K.) City, Pakistan

Construction Sector in Pakistan is going to improve at a rapid pace, as the current government is interested in increasing the revenue and job opportunities for its wp-content/uploads by focusing on the ‘Construction Sector’. It is the first time in the history of Pakistan that the construction sector is being considered as a proper CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. We being the citizen of Pakistan, are thankful to all The Ministers and The Bureaucracy, who are directly involved in planning and processing these developments and especially grateful to The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Imran Khan. 

PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council), who was destined to control and regulate the construction sector, will no more be important in this regard. PEC, which failed to provide enough jobs in this sector by regulating it, is showing a lot of resistance against this transformation. Such resistances against country development neither should be supported nor be promoted on any platform.

How it will be revolutionizing the economy and how much? that is another story!

Recently, I was asked (name was not mentioned) to share the Building Permits for Abbottabad City and Dera Ismail Khan City of Khyber PakhtoonKhwa Province.
