CHITTAGONG, June 19: New rules for construction of buildings in Chittagong city area have been finalised by the Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) with the mandatory provision of preserving and using rain water in every house and keeping green compound in front of the constructed structures.
The new rules, awaiting formal announcement, also impose bar on demolition of any traditional building, CDA sources said.
There had been no separate rules and regulation specified for construction of the buildings in the port city.
Considering the changed circumstances accompanying overall environment and other relevant issues the CDA framed separate rules and regulations for construction of buildings in Chittagong.
