Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman expressed deep sorrow and sympathy to the families of those killed in a fire in Dhaka’s Uttara area. On Friday afternoon, he visited Road 18 of Sector 11, where the incident occurred, prayed for the departed souls, and wished a speedy recovery for the injured. He met relatives of the six deceased from two families and offered condolences, praying for divine mercy and healing for the 13 people still hospitalized.

During his visit, Dr. Rahman emphasized the moral duty of standing beside affected families in times of crisis, offering emotional support and encouragement. He urged neighbors to provide comfort and solidarity to the grieving families. He also noted that while material loss cannot be fully compensated, survivors should be supported to recover and continue serving humanity.

In response to a question, Dr. Rahman said that if given the opportunity, he would work to include emergency safety education in the national curriculum and raise awareness about safety through media, mosques, NGOs, and social organizations.
