Bangladesh building codes
A big earthquake may no longer be a distant risk
But why are we still so complacent?
What if an earthquake of 6.9 magnitude hits Dhaka?
Are we planning our cities, buildings, and infrastructure in a way that would make the capital safe for our lives and properties?
Time to equip fire service properly
Increasing fire risks mean the fire service too must increase its capability
After another fire, we can only point the finger of blame inward
When will the authorities enforce building codes and fire safety regulations?
Drastic action is a must to reduce fire risks
Bangabazar fire serves as a reminder that many markets and buildings remain at risk
Don’t normalise risky living
Dhaka’s unsafe buildings pose too great a risk to be left unaddressed
Blast after blast in Dhaka
Thorough investigations and strict enforcement of building safety rules are a must
A disaster waiting to happen
Complying with the building code will ensure that a life-saving system is in place.
