Four arrested over Bangladesh building disaster

Written By Unknown on Senin, 29 April 2013 | 08.10

Four people, including two factory owners, were arrested in connection with a building collapse disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 346, as rescuers raced against time to save people trapped under the mangled pile of metal and concrete.

Rana Plaza, the eight-storey commercial building that collapsed on Wednesday, housed five garment units supplying Western clothes retailers, a branch of a private bank and about 300 shops. So far 346 bodies have been pulled out while 2,428 people have been rescued alive as the country witnessed the biggest ever rescue drill.

"We have now mobilised all our efforts to rescue alive the survivors," an army spokesman said. Twenty six more survivors were rescued today as supply of oxygen along with dry food and water kept alive a number of trapped people even after 72 hours of the collapse.

New Wave Bottoms chairman Bazlus Samad and its managing director Mahmudur Rahman Tapash were arrested after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ordered capture of the owners of the factories housed in the collapsed building. Two engineers of Savar municipality were also arrested on charge of playing down the danger from the cracks that developed in the building. Police had filed a case against them for "death due to negligence".

Locals said around 3,500 workers, mostly women, of the garment factories were working when the tragedy struck. The owner of the building was still on the run. Meanwhile, thousands of garment factory workers in different parts of the capital took to the streets to protest the deaths in Savar and vandalised several vehicles including buses and cars at Shewrapara.

Incumbent fire-service director-general Brigadier General Ali Ahmed said the rescuers would manually proceed penetrating the ruins with manual drill machines and concrete cutters so that the last of the survivors could be rescued alive.
