Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on Thursday urged the development companies of the country to play a more responsible role in protecting the interests of the clients.
"Those who live in the capital and also in other big cities do expect their own place of residence. The government has been extending all necessary support to the companies of the real estate sector," he said.
The Commerce Minister said this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the five-day REHAB Fair-2021 as the chief guest held at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC).
Organised by the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB), Housing and Public Works Secretary Md Shahid Ullah Khandaker and FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin spoke on the occasion as special guests presided over by REHAB President Alamgir Shamsul Alamin (Kajol), said a ministry press release.
RAJUK Chairman ABM Amin Ullah Nuri spoke on the occasion as the guest of honour while REHAB senior vice president Intekhabul Hamid, REHAB 1st vice president and fair standing committee co-chairman Kamal Mahmud and REHAB vice president (finance) and fair standing committee chairman Engineer Mohammad Sohel Rana, among others, spoke on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, the Commerce Minister urged the real estate companies not to cheat with the common people since they usually buy flats
with their life-long savings.
Noting that the real estate sector of the country has advanced a lot over the years, Tipu said that this sector is growing gradually with the
involvement of a huge workforce.
He mentioned that the government is working sincerely to build the big cities in a planned way seeking all-out cooperation from the concerned stakeholders in this regard.
The Commerce Minister also urged all to play their due role from their respective positions to build Bangladesh as a developed country by 2041.
