Along the 300-Foot Road, Purbachal Is Still Becoming a Town
The roads are largely built and the plots are laid out, but houses stand on only a small share of them, and schools, hospitals and markets have yet to open. A visit today shows a planned town in its early, uneven stage.
Before You Book That Flat, Ask for the RAJUK Papers
A glossy brochure is not approval. The approved plan, the approval memo and the occupancy certificate tell a buyer whether the building on the ground matches the building on paper, and what to do when the two differ.
