A Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) team probing the collapse of the residential building had claimed that the two-storey building caved in due to its weak foundation.
The report also said that the underground boring in nearby areas impacted the building foundation. “We will be sending the samples from the debris for lab tests in order to ascertain real cause of the collapse,” said one official of the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA).
