Shawdesh desk:

Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) on Monday sealed off a total of 12 restaurants inside the Gawsia Twin Peak building on Dhanmondi Satmasjid Road.

Tazina Sarwar, deputy secretary and director of Zone-3 (RAJUK) informed reporters of the move in the afternoon, four days after a deadly fire in a building on Bailey Road left at least 46 people dead.

She was overseeing a mobile court operation at the building that started this morning. The restaurants were sealed off as the building was intended for commercial use rather than housing restaurants.

The mobile court team has been conducting operations at the building since 11:00am, our correspondent reports from the spot.

The team fined the ninth-floor restaurant “Spice and Herbs” Tk 2 lakh and destroyed a portion of the rooftop eatery “Retro Life Kitchen”.
