ISLAMABAD: The District Administration of Islamabad has withdrawn the No Objection Certificate (NOC) previously granted for a fundraising event scheduled for Shaukat Khanum Hospital Karachi. In an official document, widely shared on social media, the decision cites non-compliance with regulations as the reason for revocation.
The Additional District Magistrate of Islamabad issued the communication to Manager Younus Awan of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, rendering the previously issued NOC null and void with immediate effect. Organizers are explicitly instructed not to proceed with the fundraising event scheduled at a private hotel in Islamabad on Friday, with a warning of legal consequences for non-compliance.
The sudden withdrawal of the NOC raises questions about the decision’s rationale and its potential impact on the planned fundraising efforts for Shaukat Khanum Hospital in Karachi. It also highlights the significance of adhering to regulatory requirements for such events.
As of now, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust has not released an official statement regarding this development. The situation adds complexity, prompting further investigation into the circumstances leading to the NOC withdrawal by the District Administration.
