ED: Another fire that should have been prevented
There is little subsequent follow-up, and even fewer plans to identify and deal with similar fire hazards that are scattered throughout the city
Before we have had the chance to properly recuperate from the vicious Rupganj factory fire that broke out just over a month ago, another fire incident has been reported -- this time in the capital’s Banani area.
Although the cause of the fire has not been officially stated yet, most fire incidents of recent times can be chalked up to buildings not being up to code or insufficient fire safety measures. And yet, aside from the fleeting conversations taking place around the time-lines of such fatal events, we have not seen any measures to permanently curb these issues being implemented.
