The revised rules of the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) formulated by Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) will be finalised within the next two weeks, announced its Chairman Major General (retd) Siddiqur Rahman Sarkar.
"The issues related to construction regulations in the DAP will be resolved within two weeks. We are currently reviewing some demands raised by real estate developers regarding the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and other regulations in the DAP," he said at the inauguration of REHAB Fair 2024 in Dhaka today.
The chairman said they are planning to improve connectivity in the cities surrounding Dhaka to reduce the pressure on the capital. "We are planning to establish several commercial zones around Dhaka, possibly in areas like Savar, Demra, and Narayanganj."

"Initiatives have been taken to simplify the process. Any delays or complications in issuing certificates will bring the responsible officials under accountability," he said.
He cautioned real estate developers about delays in project completion.
