Management Corp to maintain condominium properties

One-hundred-and-seventy-four beneficiaries of the Islamabad Tsunami Housing Scheme set up the Management Corporation to maintain their condominium properties in a proper manner, said Condominium Management Authority (CMA) Chairman, M. M. Abul Kalam.

He was addressing the beneficiaries of these houses at a community workshop program for Condominium Planning and Management at "Chirista Illam" in Kalmunai.

He said that condominium is a new culture and this type of living will bring amity and understanding among ethnic groups in Kalmunai.

The CMA and NHDA organised the workshop with the participation of GTZ. Kalam said that Minister Ferial Ashraff is very keen to help those who obtained houses in Islamabad.

The awareness programs and workshops conducted by the CMA in Kalmunai brought meaningful results. People of Kalmunai knew the art of condominium planning and its management.

He said that many public utility programs will be implemented for the benefit of the beneficiaries. A community centre, sewing centre and cultural centre will be built on the instructions of Minister Ferial Ashraff.

GTZ Coordinator Piyal Ganepola said that the beneficiaries of these housing units should do their best to maintain the common elements.

He said the Islamabad Housing Scheme Management Corporation should win the award for the Best Management Corporation. "Every Management Corporation is a legal person in terms of the Apartment Ownership Law.

Accordingly, a Management Corporation is like a mini Government and members of the MCs are members of the mini government", he said.
