It is stated in pre-partition documents about Murree, which is written by the Murree administrator, that these mountains can not sustain concrete construction. It can only maintain wooden structures. So, now decide yourself, how they build 10 or 14 story buildings on these soft soil mountains..Its heading toward massive disaster.
Observation :
Known as the Queen of the Hills, Murree is seriously threatened by huge concrete structures and multi-storeyed buildings. On the direction of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Punjab government issued on Oct 9, 2021, building bylaws under which only ground plus two with a maximum height of 38 feet will be allowed, as the area falls in a seismically active zone.
Sources say that the Commissioner Rawalpindi will also lead the operation to check the construction of unauthorized buildings including those which are or have been built in violation of the building bylaws.
Notified by the municipal committees of Murree, Kahuta and Kotli Sattian, all the concerned officials and authorities have been directed to strictly implement these bylaws and put an immediate halt to the high-rise concrete structures fast emerging on hills falling in a seismically active zone.
The bylaws, the sources said, will also focus on the protection and preservation of the wildlife, natural beauty, habitats, forests and old trees in the region. This initiative, it is said, reflects the prime minister’s vision for conservation, tourism promotion, wealth creation and wilderness sensitive development.
The sources said the bylaws are an adaption of the building bylaws of the Kaghan Development Authority, which were also made on the direction of Imran Khan. Once similar bylaws are adopted by the Galiyat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and possibly by local governments in Azad Jammu & Kashmir, it is expected that the onslaught of concrete frames across this region will be checked, a source said, adding that soon we could see the re-emergence of the iconic wood-based architecture of the Pir-Panjal, Kashmir and Lesser Himalayas.
The revival of wood as a construction material is expected to lead to a business model for faster carbon-sequestration entailing commercial forestry in the permissible zones. As per the bylaws, prior approval from the municipal committee shall be required to build or alter any infrastructure along with the submission of plans, necessary documentation, and certification. The construction seeking party will be liable to involve only professionals from their respective areas of expertise during each process. The plan approval committee will be constituted by the municipal committee to supervise all this.
These bylaws urge builders to establish mandatory open spaces on all sides of buildings (front, rear, sides). All the buildings must contain a ramp for differently abled people, proper ventilation, windows, doors (as described in the bylaws), exits and passages in case of an emergency. These bylaws also take into account the Pakistan Environmental Policy Act 1997 to cover the infrastructure used in buildings like chimneys, antenna towers, air conditioning and other ducts. Buildings must contain an effective garbage disposal and sewerage system to avoid the littering of public places.

Sadly everything this person has said is true. This is a very common tactic by some unsavoury locals.
