Housing and Public Works Minister SM Rezaul Karim on Friday said the government has started identifying the buildings constructed illegally in Dhaka.
The minister also warned that no risky buildings will be spared.
“Homeowners who built unplanned buildings, however influential they may be, will not be let off the hook,” he added.
The minister came up with the remarks while addressing Meet the Reporters programme at the Dhaka Reporters Unity on Friday, reports bdnews24.com.
“The risky buildings will be sealed or identified as uninhabitable and completely illegal, if the owners refuse to demolish those. We’ll not allow using those buildings. For many, a building is a source of income, but it’s not more valuable than human life,” he added.
