Rajuk recovers 80 plot files from employees
Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk), during an internal drive, recovered 80 files related to the plots of a Purbachal project. The files were supposed to be in the record section, but instead, were found in the lockers of Rajuk employees.
The files were recovered amid allegations against Rajuk employees of hiding files related to building designs and harassing the building and plot owners.
Mohammad Nurul Islam, Rajuk member (estate and land), led the drive and found the files inside the lockers.
He told The Daily Star that he primarily recovered 80 files related to the Purbachal plots. The employees have pledged to return 200 more such files within the next three working days.
"I had them open their lockers and found the files kept hidden there. These employees used to hide the files and harass the building or plot owners," said Nurul.
When asked if any action will be taken against the responsible employees, he said, "They have admitted to hiding the files and asked for forgiveness. I have also warned them not to repeat such actions in the future."
During a similar drive in October 2019, led by then Rajuk chairman Sultan Ahmed, 70 files were recovered from Rajuk employees. A case was filed with Anti-Corruption Commission against nine Rajuk employees involved with this offence.
A Purbachal plot owner, who recently went to Rajuk for the plot's registration, told The Daily Star that Rajuk officials could not find his files.
"However, the responsible official brought my files after being bribed. This is what happens with most plot owners," said the owner, wishing anonymity.
