Brahmanbaria:Bangladesh Bank (BB) has completed the transfer of 268 decimals of land in Khewra Mouza, Kasba Upazila, Brahmanbaria district to 11 buyers. This follows a High Court order directing the registration process.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the land is part of a total of 373 decimals belonging to the now-defunct Pioneer Bank Limited, which was sold in an open auction on January 31, 2026. The auction was overseen by a Joint District and Sessions Judge appointed by the Supreme Court.
