It is the National Authoritative Board on building planning, estates and resources, plot allotment, and construction approvals from both public and private entities. It utilizes the Dhaka Improvement Trust (Allotment of Land) Rule of 1969 and The Town Improvement Act of 1953, both scribed since before the Independence of Bangladesh.
RAJUK projects edit
Activities edit
It carries out drives against building code violations in Dhaka City. This is challenging as policing of illegal development is limited.[3] The agency is supposed to generate revenue from city land, which many feel conflicts with its strategic and planning functions.[4]
