The court also ordered the BGMEA to pay the compensation within 12 months from the date the owners make the claim. Speaking to the Dhaka Tribune on Sunday, some of the owners said the compensation claim could turn ugly if the BGMEA did not follow the court’s order. The DBL, which employs 400 people, owns 60,000 square feet of floor space in the building, so relocating to somewhere else is not easy and will require time, he said. The BGMEA Complex, a 15-storey building, has floor space of around 266,000 square feet space. Nearly 125,000 square feet of that space is owned by about 40 companies.
