Sunday, 5 July 2015
Some 12,960.41 acres of land of Bangladesh Railway (BR) remain unused across the country with some illegal structures or infrastructures or illegal grabbers on these lands. "These illegal occupants are gradually being evicted," Railways Minister Mazibul Hoque told Parliament while responding to a starred question from ruling party MP Md Israfil Alam (Naogaon-6). He said a process is on to build a five-star hotel-cum-commercial building, motels, medical colleges, hospitals and multistoried shopping malls under the public private partnership (PPP) on the unused lands or the lands that will not be necessary for future expansion and development activities.
