Neutral summary
Authorities began a joint drive on Monday against unauthorised resorts, cottages and restaurants along Cox's Bazar's Marine Drive, demolishing a four-storey resort building in Ukhiya's Inani. The drive, led by the Cox's Bazar Development Authority (CoxDA), followed a fire at the TupTup Resort near Patuartek beach on October 17 that killed 10 tourists, according to The Daily Star. CoxDA Secretary Sanjida Begum said the building was built in violation of laws and its owner ignored four demolition notices. Owner Shahidul Haque said he began construction in 2014 with union parishad permission and had responded to all notices. CoxDA Chairman Mohammad Jasim Uddin said about 2,500 structures stand along Marine Drive, including more than 200 hotels, resorts and cottages, most lacking valid approvals. Ajker Patrika also reported that the environment department had issued notices to 26 resorts and 10 restaurants, fined 14 resorts and filed cases against two.
Where accounts differ. Ajker Patrika alone reports the Department of Environment notices, fines and cases against 26 resorts, 10 restaurants, 14 fined resorts and two sued resorts, while The Daily Star does not mention them.

owner Shahidul Haque claimed
"Claimed" is used for the owner while officials "said", a mild asymmetry in verbs.

He had planned to inaugurate the resort soon.
A minor unattributed detail, likely from the owner, but not material to any dispute.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
