A parliamentary standing committee yesterday formed a sub committee to probe alleged irregularities in allocation of about 400 flats for the government officials at Muhammadpur and Lalmatia in the city during the immediate past caretaker government.
At a meeting, the parliamentary standing committee on Housing and Public Works ministry also asked tire authori -ties to create a separate development authority for Cox's Bazar in a bid to develop the area in a planned way.
"We received allegations that rules were not followed properly during the allocation of about 400 flats in Mohammadpur and lalmatia areas. So, we formed a tiiree member sub committee to probe it," Noor-E-Alam Chowdhury, a member of the
committee, told reporters after the meeting at the Jatiya sangsad Bhaban.
Lawmaker Johurul Haque Mohon will lead the probe body. It was asked to submit the report during the next meeting of tire committee.
Ute parliamentary committee also asked the housing ministry to come up with detailed reports on how many plots were allocated during the last seven years and who received them.
It also asked the authorities to formulate rules for private housing companies to bring dynamism to the sector.
"We have asked the Housing and Public Works ministry to place draft rules and regulations on private housing companies before tire committee's next meeting," said Noor-E Alam Chowdhury.
About the fonnation of a development authority for
Cox's Bazar, he said, "The standing committee unanimously recommended forming a separate development authority for Cox's Bazar."
"As it might take two to three years to formulate laws to bring Cox's Bazar under a separate authority, we have also recommended that Chittagong Development Authority can be assigned to do the job of developing (Lox's Bazar during this period," the AL lawmaker said.
"We want to develop Cox's Bazar in a planned way to boost tourism and a separate authority is needed to do so," he added.
The committee also asked tire ministry to cancel the lease contract of a land near parliament, which was given to the sports club of Public Works Department. "But PWI) leased out the land to a filling station in violation of the lease contract," Noor-E-Alum said.
