THAKURGAON, June 05 (UNB): BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said the deadly fire at BM Container Depot in Sitakunda has exposed a very fragile state system in Bangladesh.
"No security measures were taken there. I am terrified to think a country that has been said to be a modern one like Singapore, has no minimum security of human life. This government is only making money indulging in stealing in the name of development," he said.
The BNP leader was talking to reporters at the local press club in the district.
He said there were insufficient security measures in the container depot. "There're no safety measures to prevent fire or any other accidents."
Fakhrul also said the government has even failed to ensure proper treatment for the injured. "The Awami League government has completely failed to build a modern container depot which is really needed for the development of the country."
