Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) has warned that the earthquake-damaged building at Kasaituli in Dhaka’s Armanitola will be sealed if the owner fails to submit its design and approval papers within seven days.
It will disconnect the gas, electricity and WASA lines on the eighth day, followed by evacuation of the residents, Rajuk officials said when a team led by its chairman, Engineer Md Riazul Islam, inspected the damaged ‘Rahmatulla building’ on 20 KP Ghosh Street around 10:00 am on Saturday.
The seven-member team visited the site after a section of the building’s railing collapsed during Friday’s earthquake, leaving four people dead.
Four others are still receiving treatment at Mitford Hospital, reports UNB.
At least ten people were killed in the 5.7-magnitude quake that jolted Dhaka and several other districts on Friday.
Of them, four died in Dhaka, five in Narsingdi—the epicentre of the quake—and one in Narayanganj.
