A four-storey building tilted in the Raufabad area of Baizid Bostami in Chattogram city on Saturday.
The building tilted around 6:30pm on Saturday. A fire service unit rushed to the spot and they have surrounded the building, the fire service said.
Jalal Ahmed, the control room operator of Agrabad Fire Service, confirmed the matter.
“At 6.18 pm, we received a call about the building. The building named “Khorshed Mansion”, tilted slightly, and fell on a building next to it. However, no one was injured. As far as I know, there is work going on drains and sewerage next to the building. I suspect this could lead to the building getting tilted. However, more details will be known later,” said Jalal.
Three firefighting units have been sent there.
Sujon Kumar Dey, officer-in-charge of Baizid Police Station, said, "Our team is on the spot. Police and fire services are working to evacuate residents of the building. Beyond that, I can't say anything at the moment. More details will be known later.”
