The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) will soon issue a notice asking owners to submit documents and clearance certificates over safety measures of their buildings in 10 days, the mayor has said.
Talking to reporters while visiting the fire-affected FR Tower in Dhaka’s Banani on Friday morning, Atiqul Islam also warned of action in the event of any building owner failing to comply with the upcoming notice.
A total of 25 people were killed and 73 others injured in a devastating fire at the FR Tower, prompting the mayor to come up with such announcement to evade further such disaster in the city in future.
Just a little over a month ago, the city witnessed more than 70 people killed in another fire in its Chawkbazar.
