Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) has demolished the rooftop restaurant of the Gawsia Twin Peak building on Sat Masjid Road in Dhanmondi.

A Rajuk team conducted a raid on the building at 11 am on Monday (4 March) on allegations of non-compliance with building codes.

“The roof of the building was supposed to be empty, but the restaurant was built there without any kind of permission,” said an official involved in the operation.

(Rajuk) Zone-3 Director and Executive Magistrate Tajina Sarwar said restaurants and food courts are being run illegally in this building, which was approved for office space.

She said, “The building is basically categorised as 'F.' It was approved by Rajuk for office use. However, around 8-10 restaurants have been set up here illegally. We are looking into the matter, and I can provide details after the campaign.”
