Complications over DAP construction rules to be resolved in 2 weeks
The Chairman of the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartipakkha (RAJUK), General (retd) Md Siddiqur Rahman, assured that complications regarding construction rules outlined in the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) will be resolved within the next two weeks.
He also highlighted plans to improve connectivity with neighboring cities to alleviate Dhaka's congestion.
The announcement came during the inauguration of a five-day housing fair organised by the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) at the International Conference Center in Agargaon, Dhaka, on Monday (December 23).
The fair's inauguration was chaired by REHAB President Md Wahiduzzaman, with speeches from guests, including Sena Kalyan Sangstha Chairman Major General Mohammad Habibullah, REHAB Senior Vice President Liaquat Ali Bhuiyan, and Fair Committee Vice President Akhter Biswas.
In his address, Siddiqur Rahman said, “Efforts are underway to resolve DAP-related construction rule complications within two weeks. We are also working on improving communication systems with cities surrounding Dhaka to reduce urban pressure.”
The five-day housing fair, which runs until December 27, features participation from various housing companies, building material suppliers, and investment institutions. This is the 26th such fair organized in Dhaka since the event's inception in 2001.
In addition to its Dhaka events, REHAB has held 15 fairs in Chattogram. Since 2004, it has also expanded its reach internationally, successfully organizing 12 fairs in the United States and one each in the United Kingdom, Dubai, Italy, Canada, Australia, and Qatar.
REHAB fairs serve as a platform to grow the housing industry’s domestic and international markets. These events enable expatriates to secure their preferred housing in Bangladesh while contributing to foreign currency earnings.
The fair plays a significant role in enriching the country’s economy and fostering the growth of the housing and allied industries.
This year’s fair includes: 220 stalls, 5 gold sponsors, 18 co-sponsors, 18 building material suppliers, and 10 financial investment institutions.
