DHAKA, Mar 01, 2024 (BSS) - The building on Bailey Road where a massive fire last night left at least 46 people dead has no fire safety measures, Fire Service and Civil Defence Director General Brig Gen Md Main Uddin said today.

He said building owners were notified thrice but no measurers were taken.
 
Talking to reporters, in front of the Green Cozy Cottage Shopping Mall this noon, he said although the gutted building housed several restaurants, but there was only a tiny staircase in the whole building.
