ACC gets Mir Nasir's house prices assessed


Instructed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on February 22, the Public Works Department (PWD) yesterday started assessing the price of two houses of arrested former state minister for civil aviation and tourism Mir Nasiruddin in Chittagong.

Two teams of PWD staff went to a four-storey building of Mir Nasir in the city's Chandgaon Residential Area and a three-storey building Dalia Kunja owned by his late wife Dalia Naznin Nasir at Gazi Shah Lane on Chatteswari Road to assess their price.

In his statement submitted to the ACC, Mir Nasir showed his wealth to be worth Tk 47 crore. He stated Dalia Kunja as a two-storey building, which in fact is three-storey.

Executive Engineer (Electrical and Mechanical) of PWD, Chittagong Nurul Islam said they might need four or five days to finalise the assessment.
