Savar tragedy
A building came down like a pack of cards, killing, maiming, suffocating, and dismembering over 200 human beings, repeat human beings. To date nothing has been done to bring the responsible persons to book. Why? Is it because some people are beyond the law in this country? Is it because corrupt officials have been appropriately bribed? Has the media also, so to speak, been managed? Why can't we have some transparency? Where is the committee report due in three days? Who is/are holding it back? Why is the govt. so slow when it comes to the question of helping poor people? Some money was distributed to some relatives of the dead. What a joke-- is that all? As if they are trying to make it a forget- and- forgive matter.
What about justice? It has died a slow death like those trapped under the concrete, screaming for help, but we could not help them... The rescue efforts should also be investigated. I do not believe Bangladesh has only one crane for heavy lifting. Why were other cranes not made available in time?
Who will answer these questions? I ask as a concerned citizen.
