The president of Shop Owners Association Helal Uddin on Monday said Market authorities should be held responsible for fire incidents in the markets.
“If the fire incident occurred at any market due to negligence of the authorities concerned, then the market will be closed,” he said this while speaking at a meeting held at Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) headquarters in the city.
“We can’t close any market, so we request police to conduct their drives regularly to check whether any market building is fit or not. There is no space for movement and water storage places are also found closed in many markets,” he said.He also urged all concerned to stay alert to prevent occurrence of fire incidents in markets during the month of Ramadan and guard at night, if needed.
DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman and high official concerned were present at the meeting.
