Rajdhani Unnayan Kartri-pakkha on Monday called upon leaders of real estate sector to abide by the relevant laws in their own interest.
Rajuk chairman M Nurul Huda said this at a meeting with leaders of the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh and the Bangladesh Land Developers Association in the conference room of the Rajuk.
Referring to the construction rules 2008, private residential land development rules 2004 and the wetland conservation act of 2000, Huda asked the REHAB and BLDA leaders not to publicise the projects that were not approved by Rajuk.
During the meeting, REHAB and BLDA leaders requested early processing of their proposals, involvement in policy formulation and making current laws realistic.
The Rajuk chief assured them that he would try his best to improve the situation by reorganising the regulatory body and passing on their requests to the policymakers.
Sheikh Abdul Mannan, member planning of Rajuk, told the meeting that groundwater level in Dhaka was falling fast, and if nothing is done now it may be irreparable in future.
