The Chattogram Development Authority (CDA) carried out a special drive on Thursday morning against buildings under construction that violated approved designs and building codes in Chattogram city. The operation took place from 11:30 a.m. to noon in the Kalpalok Residential Area and on KB Aman Ali Road. CDA officials found that several building owners were constructing structures without maintaining the mandatory setbacks and in breach of approved plans.

The drive was led by CDA’s Special Metropolitan Magistrate Hamimun Tanzin. During the operation, unauthorized portions of five under-construction buildings were demolished, and the respective owners were fined. One building was sealed as its owner was not present at the site. Additionally, another building on KB Aman Ali Road was inspected, and necessary measures were taken to ensure compliance with design and building code requirements.

The CDA stated that legal action was taken against the irregular constructions to enforce urban planning regulations and maintain safety standards in the city.
