The environment department has fined Rupayan Housing Estate Ltd by Tk 6.2 million for constructing the high-rise building FR Tower in Dhaka without its clearance.
The 23-storey commercial building at the upscale area of Banani was hit with a fatal blaze last week, which claimed 27 lives, including a fire fighter.
The fine was slapped on Wednesday (Apr 10) after a hearing by the department’s Monitoring and Enforcement Wing.
A Mouvibazar-based organisation was slapped a fine of Tk 122,250 for hill cutting.
