Serious allegations have emerged that land worth hundreds of millions of taka under Bangladesh Railway’s East Zone in Chattogram was allocated without a tender, violating the Railway Land Allocation Policy. The allocation reportedly took place at SRV Station, involving a syndicate of officials from the commercial branch, land property office, and security forces allegedly linked to former Awami League MP Fazle Karim Chowdhury. The process bypassed mandatory steps such as open tender and joint approval from key departments, sparking anger among railway employees.
Documents show that the company receiving the allocation, Utsab Trading and Engineering, had no connection to railway transport or storage, failing to meet policy requirements. Despite this, it was granted 4,500 square feet of land in January 2025, and a license fee notice was later issued. Investigation reports and design documents lacked required signatures from senior officials, and the design was approved without authorization.
Railway Director General Md. Afzal Hossain stated that any irregularities in land allocation would be investigated and appropriate action taken.
