Housing for journos: HC stays hilly land allocation
The High Court yesterday stayed all the proceedings for allocating hill-class land at Jhilonza Mouza in Cox's Bazar for the housing of journalists.
The court ordered the authorities concerned to immediately stop further cutting and damage of the hills. It also directed the officials to prepare a report on the present status of 49.97 acres of hill-class land situated in BS Dag No 17070 of the Jhilonza Mouza.
The HC bench of Justice Bhishmadev Chakrabortty and Justice Md Ali Reza came up with the directives following a petition filed by Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association.
