All construction engineers approved by the Pakistan Engineering Council will be able to issue these certificates for a fee of Rs 5,000 for five Marlas of land Rs 10,000 for 10 Marlas of land. Meanwhile, the Station Commander of the Cantonment Board, Sajjad Azam, on the recommendation of Executive Officer, Rafique Sial and Secretary Mian Mudassar Khan has aborted the motion to issue certificates for smaller houses.
Residents of Cantt have termed the condition of earthquake certificates as inappropriate since there is no such requirement for other parts of the city. The residents of the area have said that during the earthquake no building was damaged in Cantt, adding that earthquakes can affect multi-storey buildings but that single storey buildings were safe. They said that the enforcement of this tax would only create problems for the masses.
