Beyond basic geography, users are increasingly downloading Rajuk’s DAP maps and overlays for Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur. These documents outline zoning regulations, land use policies, and future development plans under the Detailed Area Plan framework. The interest is driven by:
Concerns Over Forced Evictions: Residents in Keraniganj, Savar, and parts of Old Dhaka are using DAP maps to understand whether their homes fall within “redevelopment” or “restricted” zones.
Political Organizing: Activists and opposition parties are analyzing constituency boundaries and demographic layouts to strategize for upcoming elections.
Legal and Civic Advocacy: Lawyers and NGOs are referencing DAP documents in land rights cases and urban justice campaigns.
Citizen Journalism: bdnewsnet.com’s open-access model has empowered grassroots contributors to use these maps in exposés and local reporting.
