KARACHI: DHA Karachi has issued a clarification regarding violations of its building control regulations that stormed the internet earlier this week.
According to sources, DHA claimed that there was negative propaganda circulating in print and social media regarding a DHA fine imposed on residents for installing solar panels on their residential properties.
The authority clarified that to date there were no fees or charges for obtaining permission to install solar panels on a residential property. However, DHA is responsible for reviewing the safe installation plan, the quality of equipment used, and the impact on the neighborhood.
“DHA always informs its residents in advance to submit the plans, completion drawings, and other details before the installation,” it added.
Sources further informed that an information post on the installation of solar panels at residential properties was already posted on DHA Social Media Accounts and Voice of DHA on September 8, 2022.
