DHAKA, April 28, 2025 (BSS) - Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) Chairman Engineer Md. Riazul Islam today said the ongoing drive against risky and unauthorized buildings will continue in efforts to create a livable and safe city.

He made the announcement while inaugurating the newly constructed Rajuk Narayanganj Zonal Office (Zone-8) building in the Khanpur area of the city.

Riazul Islam said Rajuk is committed to providing services that help build a safe and sustainable city, and that everyone must comply with building regulations.

He stressed that Rajuk's efforts to identify and address risky and unauthorized buildings will not stop.

"Owners of buildings under construction will not be spared if they violate the rules," he said.

He warned strict action will be taken if any irregularities are found in ongoing construction projects. In cases where Rajuk officials are found to be involved in irregularities, legal action will be taken.

"We are already pursuing legal action against Rajuk officials who were involved in past construction violations. No influential group will be exempt from efforts to build a livable city," he added.

Joint Secretary and Rajuk Member Dr. Md. Alam Mostafa, Chief Engineer Nurul Islam, Authorized Officer of Narayanganj Zonal Office F. R. Ashik Ahmed and senior officials from the district administration and police attended the event, among others.
