Jhilmil Residential Project
Rajuk extends time for application again
For the second time, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) has extended the deadline of submitting application of Jhilmil Residential Area Project for 15 days following the demand of the applicants.
The last date of submitting application is now October 10 which was September 25, said chairman of Rajuk Nurul Huda yesterday.
“We have increased the time as many applicants failed to submit application in due time though they did arranged for pay order,” he said.
Many applicants from abroad also failed to reach their applications in time and made the request, he added.
An advertisement will be published in newspapers in this regard, said another Rajuk official.
The Rajuk chairman said they will try to complete the scrutiny of the applications by December.
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) will then conduct a lottery for allotting the plots. But the ministry will decide whether lottery will be held for the journalists or not, said the chairman of Rajuk.
“We will return the money to the unsuccessful applicants within seven days directly to their account just after completion of the lottery,” said.
Rajuk earlier fixed the rate of per katha land at Tk 5 lakh for a five katha plot and Tk 4 lakh for a three katha plot.
Rajuk in May invited applications for the third time for allotting around 1,250 plots in its Jhilmil Project in Keraniganj.
Sources in Rajuk said the town planner took the initiative in 1997 for developing the housing project adjacent to Dhaka-Mawa Highway at Suvadda, Chunkatia and Tegharia moujas of Keraniganj to solve the housing problem of the residents of Dhaka.
