A multi-storey building owned by former Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) mayor M Monzur Alam tilted further following an earthquake that struck Bangladesh on Friday morning. The tremor, which occurred at 10:38 a.m., caused panic across Chattogram as residents rushed outdoors. Although the city experienced no casualties, the Mansurabad-based building under Double Mooring Police Station showed increased tilting. Fire Service officials confirmed that the structure had already been leaning prior to the quake and that their team inspected the site. The duration of the quake was about 27 seconds. Additionally, one operational unit of the Banshkhali Power Plant shut down after the quake, disrupting electricity supply in some areas. Authorities have assured that the situation remains under control and an investigation will be conducted to assess the building’s safety. Previous major earthquakes in Chattogram, including in 1997 and 2016, had caused structural damage to several buildings.
