LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT OF BANGLADESH WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE OF KHULNA CITY

As a poor-planning phenomenon of Bangladesh, existing infrastructural regulations are not well developed. The regulations can not support modern urban development, because, some of them pronounces and frames at least 50 to 100 years ago. Some amendments made later on, but not solely consistent with modern dynamic societies. Enforcement authorities and lawmakers frame the rules as and when required for the execution of statutes prescribed on them. But the old main stream not changes by such amendments.

Therefore, contradiction, legal gaps and communication gaps exists common among authorities while undertaking development work. Regulations are the key denominator for planned urban and rural development, at the same time, for creation of living environment. For infrastructure planning, development and management, a large number of minor acts and their enforcement authority exists in Bangladesh. Financial constraint is a major cause for increasing their efficiency. Moreover, policies, management and planning regulations are not pertinent.
