Tilted Building
Rajuk fails to start demolition work
Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) could not start the scheduled demolition work of the tilted seven-storey building at Kathalbagan in the city yesterday, as they failed to complete the safety measure around the building.
“We've failed to take safety measures properly. That's why we couldn't start the demolition work,” said Aminur Rahman, authorised Rajuk officer.
He said a rope weight has been set to bring down the rubbles to the ground.
They, however, failed to set up the safety net. Aminur Rahman said they will set it today and then start demolition.
“If everything goes smoothly, we'll start the demolition work in full swing on Saturday,” he said.
Haider Asia Tower was tilted onto a 17-storey building on Sunday night.
A team led by former Buet vice-chancellor AMM Shafiullah has been supervising the demolition work.
On Thursday night, Rajuk knocked down a portion of the structure on the uppermost floor of the building.
