The Capital Development Authority (Rajuk) conducted a major mobile court operation on Thursday in Dhaka’s Gabtoli, Darus Salam, and Mirpur areas against illegal and unapproved building constructions. According to a press release, the operation targeted 12 under-construction buildings, resulting in the demolition of unauthorized parts, disconnection of electricity lines, seizure of eight meters, and fines totaling eight lakh taka.

The drive was led by Executive Magistrate Shahnaz Parvin Bithi, accompanied by authorized officers Masuk Ahmed and other Rajuk officials, including chief and assistant building inspectors. The listed properties included several residential plots in the Khalek City area and near Parbat Cinema Hall, where owners were found constructing without Rajuk approval or violating approved designs.

Some owners signed undertakings on stamped paper pledging to remove remaining illegal structures and refrain from further unauthorized construction. The operation reflects Rajuk’s continued enforcement efforts to ensure compliance with approved building plans in the capital.
