The Ministry of Housing and Public Works appointed Reazul Islam as Chairman on October 18, 2026. Separately, the Ministry published amendments to the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) 2022-2035 on October 14. These changes allow eligible residential plot owners in Purbachal and Jhilmil to receive up to 0.5 additional floor area ratio if they apply for building-plan approval within six months of October 15. The amendments also change the land-use classification of three plots and revise regulations for water-flow zones.
