A 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck Bangladesh on Friday morning, shaking Dhaka and several other regions for a few seconds. Experts have reiterated that Bangladesh lies in a highly earthquake-prone zone because it sits at the junction of three major tectonic plates — the Indian, Eurasian, and Myanmar plates. The continuous movement of these plates builds up stress along fault lines such as the Dauki, Bogura, and Tripura fault zones, which can release energy suddenly, causing earthquakes. Bangladesh’s soft deltaic soil and unplanned urbanization, particularly in Dhaka and Chattogram, further increase the risk of severe damage during strong tremors. Geologists note that the northeastern region of the country is especially vulnerable. The recent quake has renewed public concern and prompted calls for stricter building codes and preparedness measures to mitigate potential disaster impacts in this geologically unstable region.
