Rajuk stops drive under pressure
Rajuk had to withdraw a drive against illegal commercial occupancy of a Gulshan residential plot by the International Club in the face of ministerial instruction yesterday allowing the club two days to shift their belongings.
Md Nurul Islam, executive engineer of Rajuk, told The Daily Star that their team just knocked down the boundary wall of the club and withdrew from the drive giving the time.
The club's occupancy of the two-bigha residential plot at house no-5 on the road no-74 to run commercial activities is unauthorised, he said adding that the drive has been postponed until next Sunday.
The club is run by Bangladeshis and Indian nationals with members of other foreign nationals staying in the capital.
Land owner and Nassa Group Chairman Nazrul Islam Mazumdar earlier had served an eviction notice asking the club authorities to vacate the premises.
Later, the club authorities obtained three-month stay order from the High Court (HC) against the notice. Again, they obtained a six-month stay.
Following a petition by the Nassa Group, appellate division of the Supreme Court made the six-month stay order ineffective for six weeks with the February 9 for regular hearing on the matter at the HC bench.
As the stay was made ineffective, Mazumdar applied to Rajuk for the eviction.
