According to the new guidelines, people falling into the following categories will be eligible to apply.
The categories are freedom fighter, journalist, government employee, official and employee of autonomous bodies, official and employee of armed forces, businessman, industrialist, private job holder, teacher, artist, literary and sport personality, remittance earner, lawyer, agriculturist, doctor and engineer. Minister, state minister, speaker, lawmaker and judge will qualify directly if they apply.
Bangladesh University of Engineers and Technology (BUET) will conduct a lottery for allotting the plots.
All necessary infrastructures and urban facilities including school, college, hospital, medical center, mosque, temple, church, playground and lake will be developed in the project area.
RAJUK, since its inception is working for reducing acute problem of housing as well as expanding civic facilities by developing new townships. The latest one in Keraniganj is under execution.
In 2001, RAJUK officials said, application was called for distribution of plots in Jhilmil residential area. Over 600 people had applied. Of them 20 applications were canceled and finally RAJUK published names of 585 allottees in daily newspapers. Of them around 345 allottes did not withdraw deposit money, so, they need not to apply for plots.
