Three bodies authorised to deal with realtors
The government has empowered municipal bodies, cantonment boards, and national housing authority (NHA) to work as the line authorities for giving approval of real estate developers in respective areas.
According to a notification issued by the ministry of housing and public works, these bodies would be entrusted to register and serve other activities for streamlining real state developers and their projects in line with section 4 of the Real Estate Development and Management Act, 2010, official sources said yesterday.
However, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk), Chittagong Development Authority (CDA), Rajshahi Unnayan Kartripakkha (RUA), and Khulna Unnayan Kartripakkha (KUA) will remain the concerned authorities for the capital Dhaka and three other major cities -- Chittagong, Rajshahi, and Khulna -- in this regard.
The NHA, would cover all areas across the country except some designated areas including Rajuk, CDA, RDA and KDA, city corporation areas in Dhaka, Sylhet and Barisal and all municipalities, Cox's Bazar district and Latachapli, Gongamoti, Kuarchar and Charchapali mouzas under Kalapara upazila in Patuakhali district and all cantonment board areas.
This order will not be valid for Chakaria, Moheshkhali and Teknaf municipalities in Cox's Bazar and Kuakata municipality in Patuakhlai district, the housing ministry notification said.
Besides the government has formed two separate authorities for tourist towns -- Cox's Bazar and Kuakata in Patuakhali districts -- for brining transparency and accountability of rampant real estate developers working in the areas.
