Following a series of recent earthquakes in Dhaka, the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) has identified around 300 buildings as vulnerable to seismic risks. RAJUK Chairman Riazul Islam announced the findings during a seminar on earthquake preparedness held at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh. He emphasized that without coordinated efforts among government agencies, managing post-earthquake situations would be extremely difficult. Islam urged all stakeholders, including city corporations and the fire service, to work together to reduce risks. He also clarified that RAJUK approves building plans only when they comply with regulations and does not engage in any financial irregularities. The chairman further noted that property owners are responsible for ensuring their buildings meet safety standards, and violations should result in penalties for them, not RAJUK. He criticized the lack of coordination among RAJUK, city corporations, and the fire service, which he said has led to disorder in urban management.
