The government has undertaken a project to construct Shantinagar-Jhilmil flyover at a cost of Tk 10 billion with a view to establishing a direct and uninterrupted link of the area with the city.
Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain said this while visiting Jhilmil Housing Project of Rajdhani Unnayan Katripakha (Rajuk) at Keraniganj on Sunday, reports BSS.
"The 13-kilometre long Shantinagar-Jhilmil flyover project would be implemented under the public private partnership (PPP)," the minister pointed out.
The minister said the appointment of project director and other necessary works are underway targeting to complete the construction of the flyover by 2019.
The housing minister said the Rajuk is examining the allotment process of plots at Jhilmil, adding, "If anyone is found having allotment of more than one plot the government would cancel it."
He said the government will not go for land project anymore and Rajuk will build apartments for the middle income people and the state-owned housing authority will take a new project on the basis of land availability in and around the capital city.
During the visit, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid, Secretary of Housing and Public Works Ministry Moin Uddin Abdullah and Rajuk Chairman Joinal Abedin Bhuiyan were present.
