Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) yesterday started its illegal structure demolition drive at city's Gulshan area where it had recovered a seven Katha land from Unique Group and asked residents of a six-storied building to leave their home as it was the land of the RAJUK.

The RAJUK would launch further drive in January 23 for land recovery and evicting illegal establishments.

Magistrate of the RAJUK Emdadul Dastagir along with 50 policemen launched the drive yesterday noon.

The RAJUK evicted Unique Group from a seven-Katha land beside Hotel Westin at Road No 35 of Gulshan-2, as they could not show any documents claiming their ownership.

The land was handed over to a development organisation Sanmar, who claim the ownership of the land. During the eviction huge construction materials and about hundred construction workers were present.

Police have been deployed to guard the land and avoid any untoward situation.

In another operation, the RAJUK has asked five families to leave a six-storied building tomorrow at Road No 29 though the families have bought flats from one Mega Builders Group representative of which could not be found during the operation.

It was alleged that the Mega Builders could make some way to build the building and sell flats hobnobbing with RAJUK officials during the BNP-Jamaat regime.

The five families who were asked to leave are in a fix as they had paid for the flats to the Mega Builders and now could not claim the ownership of the flats.
