Allocation of RAJUK plots to war criminals cancelled

Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain today said the allocations of plots by Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) to the war criminals of 1971 have been cancelled, reports the BSS.

 

He made the disclosure in reply to a question from journalists at a function on the occasion of signing an agreement between RAJUK and Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) at Bangladesh Secretariat.

 

The minister said if any developer company constructed buildings on the plots allocated to war criminals, the concerned company will get its due share while the government will confiscate the rest of it.

 

If anyone purchased the share of war criminals, the issue would be reviewed and a decision will be taken later, he added.

 

Earlier, RAJUK signed a deal with the Standard Chartered Bank, under which the buyers of RAJUK plots and flats will get bank loan at a rate of 8.5 percent interest which has to be repaid within 25 years.

 

RAJUK chairman Bazlul Karim Chowdhury and Standard Chartered Bank CEO Abrar Anwar signed the deal on behalf of their respective sides.
