Rajuk : deeply irresponsible
The deaths of the labourers in the Rang's Bhaban collapse were due to the fault of Rajuk and they should be held accountable for their actions and given exemplary punishment, there should be a public trial over this issue as it amounts to death or murder through negligence. Any tender which requires the demolition of a tall building would have to at the very least specify that the company must have previous experience in demolishing a high-rise. Why did they hire a ship breaking company without any experience of demolishing a high-rise? This smells a little dodgy to me, did someone once again make a quick buck at the expense of the Bangladeshi people? Also, Rajuk being one of the most corrupt institutions of the country, having extorted huge sums of money from developers and regular people for passing plans now has the cheek to ask these very people for help when they mess up. If I were a developer, I would turn the other way and fold my arms. Some high ups in Rajuk should be made to resign over this atrocity and cases should be filed against them. The acronym Rajuk is synonymous with land grabbing, corruption, extortion, law-breaking and now murder.
When will the government restructure this criminal institution and free us from its clutches? I'm also very surprised that the Rehab people did not make a statement on this issue and condemn the actions of Rajuk. It seems that the people in place to pass our plans have no engineering knowledge!
