The residents of Gulshan face traffic congestion during the busy hours and another large commercial building at the intersection will add to their sufferings, they said.

"How can the authorities approve such a thin and tall building without adequate car parking facilities while the traffic situation here is already bad?" said a resident of Gulshan.

The under-construction multi-storeyed Doreen Tower, to be inaugurated within the next year, has only two basement car parking spaces for 72 cars in total, said engineers working at the site.

But according to the Dhaka Building Construction Regulation-2006 that says there should be parking facility for one car for every 100 square metre of gross area, the building should have parking facility for 139 cars.

"Although they got permission from Rajuk, such a huge building should have at least three floors for car parking," said Shamsur Rahman, authorised officer-2 of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk).

Besides, the building is nearly 250 feet tall but the aviation authorities do not approve construction of more than 150 feet tall building in the area, he added.

Siddiqui Group Chairman Nure Alam Siddiqui, who is the owner of 'Doreena Tower', said that permission for construction of the building was received from the Building Committee of Rajuk.

He said there will not be any problem as he will not allow more than two cars for offices on each floor.

"There is facility for parking 72 cars at this building. But I have bought a piece of 10-katha land on road No 35 where I will build another high-rise building with car parking facilities on seven floors -- two basements and five others. So it would be a supplementary car parking space for this building also," he added.
