The engineers, on condition of anonymity, told the PPI that blame for illegal construction is put on all the junior officers working entirely under the command of DG SBCA for being allegedly involved with the builder mafia.
“It is also said that such initiatives by DG are taken to gain hidden goals & gestures for that are received from some other source, which will be revealed as with time,” said an engineer.
