According to the daily, some developers “circumvent the laws in force by not paying their taxes, not declaring workers to the national social security fund (CNSS) and not taking out all-risk construction insurance”. The worst is that they launch “construction sites on non-building land, old waterways or even old cemeteries”, continues the same source, inviting the authorities to ensure compliance with town planning rules.
