Work order for demolishing BGMEA Bhaban within April: Rezaul
DHAKA, April 17, 2019 (BSS) – Housing and Public Works Minister SM Rezaul
Kairm today said the government would issue work order for demolishing the
BGMEA Bhaban in the last week of April.
“Within the next three months, debris will be removed from there and modern
technology will be used for demolishing the building,” he said while talking
to journalists at his ministry office.
Eventually, the procedure will be finalised on April 25 for what kind of
method will be followed to demolish the BGMEA Bhaban as the government has
already floated tender for demolishing the building, he said.
“If we do not get capable local firm to demolish the structure, we will go
for foreign company for demolishing the Bhaban,” Rezaul said.
In June 2016, the Appellate Division upheld the High Court verdict ordering
the demolition of the structure, with the BGMEA to bear the cost of
demolition.
