Rajuk to involve Buet in plot allotment
Helemul AlamRajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) will involve Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) for preparing database of the applicants and conducting lottery for the allotment of plots at Purbachal New Town Project and Uttara Model Town (Third Phase).
“It will take two months from the last date of submitting the applications to scrutinise them and conduct the lottery with the experts of Buet,” said Sukumar Chandra Saha, member estate of Rajuk.
He said they have extended the time for submitting the applications due to upcoming upazila election and immediate past parliamentary election.
On January 13, Rajuk extended for the second time the time limit for collecting and submitting the application forms for both the projects.
The last date for collecting application forms is now April 29 and for submitting those forms is April 30, instead of January 14 and January 15.
There was sharp reaction from the applicants over the extension of the time, which they termed unnecessary.
Many applicants showed their interest in withdrawing the applications as they said the delay in the process is keeping their deposited money idle while many aspirants have already cashed their pay orders following the extension of time.
A total of 1.56 lakh applications including those from abroad were submitted till January 11 for both the projects.
An applicant preferring anonymity said he could earn about Tk 7000 to 8000 monthly from his Tk 1 lakh, which he had deposited for a five-katha plot at Purbachal.
Sukumar said they will consider the application for withdrawing the money if anyone shows his interest but it will be tough job to find out the application.
An applicant has to submit an application to the Chairman of Rajuk for the withdrawal of his money, he added.
Sukumar said they will be able to distribute plots by 2012.
