Chittagong bureau :
The drives of the mobile court of Chittagong Development Authority have again enforced recently after a short gap .
Sources said, the actions of mobile court against the illegal constructions and use of buildings remain suspended in Chittagong since last month due to a shortage of magistrates. In the current year, new magistrates are yet to join the CDA. As a result, the mobile court of CDA was not in action. But a drive of mobile court in their regular routine , again conducted raid in Kulsihi area on Wednesday where six guest houses prohibited to run their business in the residential areas. .
Sources said earlier , CDA magistrate Khin Wan Nue conducted mobile courts joined at CDA in 2015 last and he has been transferred to Lama Upazila of Bandarban Hill District as Upazila Nirbahi Officer on October 5 last. In absence of the magistrate CDA cannot continue action and mobile court against the illegal constructions and use of buildings has been suspended since October last year.
Sources said there are huge incidents of violating the law of Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) for constructing buildings here in the port city. The building owners are using their buildings commercially which are situated at residential areas. CDA was continuing the mobile court and eviction drive to evict the commercial establishments situated at residential areas illegally.
Sources said CDA has started eviction drive against the commercial building in the residential area in the port city from the beginning of the September last. Despite the drives of CDA, the influential quarters are out of touch of the mobile courts or CDA drives till now.
