CHATTOGRAM, Jan 15 (UNB): Chattogram Customs House has set January 21 to auction more than 100 vehicles, including 31 high-end cars imported by former members of parliament (MPs) from the ousted Awami League government, who had benefited from duty-free privileges.
"These vehicles will be put up for auction on January 21 due to delays in having them released from the port," Md Sakib Hossain, assistant commissioner at Chattogram Customs House, told UNB on Wednesday.
He said over 900 imported cars are currently being held at various locations, including the Chattogram Port car shed, and will be auctioned because of delays in clearance. "Legal complications had prevented earlier auctions, resulting in congestion at port facilities."
Despite notices being sent to the owners to settle their dues, there has been no response, particularly from former MPs.
