DSCC function suffers setback as stage breaks down

A programme of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) suffered a setback today when the stage built for the function in Paribagh, Dhaka, broke down.

The authorities were holding a programme titled "Public Representatives Facing the People" in the area where Mayor Sayeed Khokon was taking questions from the common people.

Around 25-30 people were at the stage when it suddenly collapsed without any apparent reason. The programme that started around 11:30am was curtailed and ended shortly after the accident.

No one was hurt during the incident.
