Office holders are vacating from the BGMEA Complex on Hatirjheel on a second chance today, on the cusp of the building’s demolition.

Although Rajuk officials had no engineering plan to knock down the much-talked about BGMEA building on the capital's Begunbari canal, they went to the site yesterday heavily equipped with demolition machinery.

After an eight-and-a-half year legal battle culminating in a victory for Rajuk, the capital development officials yesterday went to demolish the illegal 15-storey BGMEA building in a move which lacked coordination and was mired in confusion.

The BGMEA building will be demolished by using controlled demolition method (blasting with explosives), ASM Raihanul Ferdous, project director of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) says.

Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkah (Rajuk) seals off the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) building on Hatirjheel in Dhaka.

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association will submit an undertaking today to the Supreme Court to get a further one-year extension of the deadline for demolishing its building in the capital's Hatirjheel area.

The Supreme Court will pass an order on Tuesday on a petition filed by the BGMEA seeking a year time for demolishing its 15-storey building which was illegally built on Begunbari and Hatirjheel Lake in Dhaka.

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has recently filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) needs one more year to shift to its new building before the demolition of its current headquarter in Hatirjheel lake of Dhaka.

The Supreme Court gives six-month time to Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) to demolish its building constructed illegally in Dhaka's Begunbari canal and Hatirjheel Lake.

How long does it take to bring down a 15-storeyed building? Certainly not three years.

The Supreme Court yesterday upheld a 2011 High Court verdict that ordered demolition of the 15-storey BGMEA building illegally built in the heart of Begunbari canal in the capital.
