Mobile towers
It is a common feature at Dhaka city that most of the roof top mobile towers have been erected in the vicinity of residential areas disregarding the safety aspect of common people. When the government is regularly reminding us of the safety and precaution to be adopted in case of earthquake, the question arises as to how the authorities are allowing mobile towers compromising safety of lives and property of its citizens.
If a tremor of moderate to high intensity strikes this region, there will be immense loss of lives not only from the damage of buildings but also from the heavy iron towers.
Just for the rental income of a few , the authorities cannot jeopardize the safety of the people. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure safety of the public.
