Dishonest Realtors

Rajuk plans tough action

Bss, Dhaka
The Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) yesterday said they planned to toughen their actions against dishonest real estate businesses amid reports of sale of illegal plots and apartments by land developers in a recent housing fare. “We are already in action against the dishonest real estate businesses and now planned to intensify the campaign against illegal sales of land and apartments or flats,” a Rajuk spokesman told the news agency. He added, “Tough actions await for the dishonest real estate businesses who reportedly sold illegal plots or flats”. His comments came as media reports said many of these plots and flats were displayed and sold at the recently organised Rehab Summer Fair. We have sent letters to the members of Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (Rehab) and Bangladesh Land Developers' Association, who were listed by Rajuk, to stop their illegal activities regarding unregistered projects, the spokesman said. Rajuk reiterated that it was carrying out a number of activities from 2004 onwards to create awareness among people about these illegal activities by a section of unscrupulous businessman. These included repeated cautionary notices in national dailies and audiovisual media. Besides, since 2000, it has filed a number of cases and general diary against unregistered residential projects. At least, 19 cases were filed against such illegal private projects.
