I am deeply concerned by the fire that broke out at the cargo complex of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, and I sincerely hope all are safe.
I commend the brave members of the Fire Service, Armed Forces, and other responders who acted swiftly and courageously to contain both of these fires, showcasing true dedication to public service.
It is essential that a full and transparent investigation be carried out to determine the cause of these incidents and to strengthen public safety measures for the future, especially given the alarming surge in the frequency of fire incidents recently, including the serious blaze at the factory in the Chattogram Export Processing Zone and the garments factory in Mirpur.
