Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) took action today against three restaurants on the capital`s Bailey Road after a horrific fire killed at least 46 people last Thursday night.
A Rajuk team, led by Executive Magistrate Mohammad Monir Hossain Hawlader, shut down Nababi Bhoj and Sultan`s Dine and fined Swiss Bakery.
The executive magistrate told reporters that Nababi Bhoj was sealed off because it was operating without proper permission.
The team asked employees at another restaurant, Sultan`s Dine, for its papers and shut it off because they were unable to provide the documents. Hawlader said, adding that further action will be taken after management provides the necessary documentation.
They also charged a Tk 1 lakh fine on Swiss Bakery for failing to ensure fire safety.
