Chittagong is one of the ports of the earthquake -prone area of ​​the country. A large earthquake like Myanmar is likely to be damaged in about 5 percent of the buildings in the region. That is, out of the 1 lakh 12 thousand buildings in Chittagong city, less than 2 lakh 3 thousand buildings will be affected.

Experts said that the earthquake was damaged in the earthquake in Chittagong. They say that in the construction of the building, there is a higher risk due to lack of laws, not compliance with the design and the use of quality construction materials. They also claim that the agencies have virtually no preparation for the rescue operation and the situation.

Experts and fire service officials claim that the role of the Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) as a supervision agency in the construction of the building was considerable negligence and deficit. The company did not perform the right duties. This is why the situation has become even more risky. CDA officials have admitted that there is a deficit to oversee the construction of the building due to manpower crisis. They are also worried that if there is more than 5 earthquakes, 4 to 5 percent of the buildings in Chittagong will either collapse or damage.

The risk of Chittagong was renewed in the earthquake after a strong earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand last Friday.

More than two and a half million buildings at risk

According to CDA data, there are currently 1 lakh 12 thousand 5 buildings in Chittagong city. Of these, there are 2 lakh 5 thousand 5 buildings. There are 2 to 5 storey buildings. The number of buildings from 1 to 5 floors is 5 thousand 5. There are 120 buildings on the 5th floor. There are now more than 20 floors in the city. Although these large numbers of buildings were constructed, most of them did not mean the building.
