Helemul Alam
Implementation of a Rajuk plan for construction of around 52,000 flats for lower and lower middle-income people under three massive projects begins on Wednesday.
Of the flats, 22,525 will be built under Uttara Residential Model Town Phase-3 project, 20,000 under Purbachal New Town Project and about 10, 000 under Jhilmil Residential Project of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk)
The projects are likely to be completed in five years, said a top official of Rajuk.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for construction of the flats at Uttara Model Town on Wednesday formally kicking off execution of the three projects.
Rajuk Chairman Md Nurul Huda said the flats will be allotted to applicants in eight instalments, and an allotment guideline will be prepared within three months.
Applications for allotment of the flats will be invited in June or July, he told The Daily Star.
Construction of flats on 215 acres of land at Sector-18 of Uttara Phase-3 will start in November.
The Rajuk chairman mentioned that the project proposal for Uttara flats is now awaiting approval of the Executive Committee of National Economic Council. And that for the flats at Jhilmil awaits approval of the housing and public works ministry.
The project proposal for Purbachal flats will be sent to the housing and public works ministry within a month, he added.
At Uttara, 160 buildings will be constructed — each 15-storey–
at an estimated cost of around Tk 8,633 crore. The fund will come from allotment of the flats, said the official.
“The buildings will have solar power apart from normal electricity supply. We also plan to provide the facility of rain harvesting,” he said.
Some 9,224 flats will be constructed under the Jhilmil project.
These will include 3,284 flats of 1,001 to 1,200 square feet each, 4,377 flats of 801 to 1,000 sqft and 1,563 of 600 to 800 sqft .
At Purbachal, there will be 7,000 flats of 850 sqft and 1,250 sqft , and 6,000 flats of 1,500 sqft, said the official.
