Expansion of Dhaka New Market illegal: HC
High Court yesterday declared a project undertaken to expand 178 shops on the first floor at Dhaka's New Market illegal.
The bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik-Al Jalil passed the order and said all allotments under the project will be cancelled on grounds that it is contradictory to the 1951 master plan and new construction will damage the environment, Barrister Aneek R Haque told The Daily Star.
Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) undertook the project in February last year.
