Devastating fires at Begunbari slum
Nowadays devastating fire incidents have been occurring at various slums in Dhaka. I think these are not merely accidents rather these are done by some influential land -grabbers to occupy the land on which the poor live. Recently a devastating fire burnt 600 houses into ashes and left nothing for the unfortunate dwellers at Begunbari in Tejgaon industrial area. Now they are living under the open sky without food, water, and medicine. Even no organisation or the government has come forward to see their condition or give them assistance. I urge the government to take proper measures to compensate the slum dwellers and punish the criminals responsible for the fire accident.
