Rajuk shouldn't allow violation of codes

Rajuk has sadly been a factor in hastening the deterioration of our city's environment. It had on earlier occasions also allowed construction of residential and other structures on lands created through filling up the Gulshan/ Badda Lake.

We also fail to understand as to how commercial buildings continue to be raised without due provision for parking of vehicles, an integral part of Rajuk's responsibility to ensure. This has caused parking of vehicles on roadsides and all conceivable places in and around busy commercial thoroughfares creating traffic jam. While we are struggling to control our traffic in the city, Rajuk through its negligence continues to contribute to further aggravation of the situation. There is also little post construction monitoring, which at times even results in virtual renting out of parking areas, if any, to outside sources by the owners.

We stand fully behind the court injunction and urge the Adminstration to ensure that no violation of the court order takes place. The independence and the authority of the Judiciary must be upheld at all costs whether it relates to Rajuk or any other institution or individual.
