'Army not involved in allotting Rajuk plots'

The Army Headquarters yesterday said the army doesn't have any kind of involvement in allotment of the plots of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) and there should not be any misunderstanding in this regard.
Mentioning that confusion has been created in public mind and media about direct involvement of Bangladesh Army, an ISPR release said, “It is to inform all that army doesn't have any type of involvement in plot-allotment system.”
It noted that the professional skills of the army were appreciated by all as they formulated voter list with photograph and national ID card within a very short span of time.
“And due to such professional efficiency of the army, the Housing and Public Works Ministry requested Bangladesh Army to provide information technology assistance for necessary data entry and selection of candidates through lottery in the allotment of Rajuk's plots under two projects --Purbachal and Uttara,” the ISPR release said.
Following the request, the army sent an expert team to the Rajuk to review the whole matter of electronic selection.
The Army team opined that any non-government skilled IT organisation would be able to accomplish the task of Rajuk through its specific IT programme and IT operators.
