The authorities have evacuated a five-storey building in Dhaka’s Lalbagh, which runs the risk of collapse.
Lalbagh police OC Subhash Kumar Pal said the building on Jagannath Saha Road has shifted and is leaning towards a neighbouring structure.
He said at least 45 people were living in the 10 flats of the building.
A fire service unit was dispatched to the scene around 2:30pm after the
possible collapse was reported, Fire Service Control Room duty officer Ziaur Rahman told bdnews24.com.
Soon after, the police and city development agency RAJUK officials arrived at the scene.
RAJUK Zonal Authorised Officer Ashish Kumar Saha said the building appeared to have ’tilted a bit’.
“It’s clear that two buildings came into contact with each other,” he said to bdnews24.com adding that further details cannot be provided without tests.
The building’s residents are being evacuated to avert any untoward incident, Saha said.
