A brief earthquake struck Gazipur, Bangladesh, on Friday morning, triggering widespread panic among residents and garment workers. The tremor, lasting only a few seconds, caused people to rush out of buildings, leading to injuries for more than 600 workers, mostly from garment factories in Chandna Chowrasta, Tongi, and Sreepur. In Tongi, a six-story building tilted dangerously, and several others developed cracks. At least 56 injured individuals were admitted to Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital, while dozens more received treatment at local clinics. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as furniture shook and items fell from shelves. Authorities reported no major structural collapses but confirmed minor damage and injuries caused by stampedes. The Fire Service stated that no significant casualties or large-scale destruction had been reported so far. The incident highlights the vulnerability of densely populated industrial areas during seismic events, particularly where safety protocols are limited.
