Corruption in private universities

There are adequate laws on fire prevention and safety measures. Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC), 1993 has a detailed chapter on fire protection measures. It has been made legally binding to follow these in construction of any building must follow this code. Gas supply network is maintained properly in many residential buildings that can cause explosion and subsequent fire incident by a moderate strength earthquake. According to Fire Prevention and Dousing Act, 2003, fire service authorities are empowered to inspect any building and check compliance with the required fire-safety provisions. In case of non-compliance or negligence, they can notify the building owner or declare the building unsafe for public use for non-cooperation of the owner. But, there has been no such instance of declaring a building unsafe so far. The fire service authorities are in lack of manpower and state of the art fire fighting equipments also. People all the rules related to fire safety and prevention should be integrated and fire fighting work be done in one go with strict enforcement of the laws.
