Bangladesh authorities plan to establish mobile earthquake alert technology after recent seismic activity killed ten people and damaged multiple structures across the nation. Lieutenant General Jahangir Alam Chowdhury announced his administration would consult technical specialists about creating smartphone applications capable of delivering warnings before tremors strike, similar to systems operating in other countries.
The retired military officer emphasized enforcing construction standards and urged development officials at RAJUK to prevent approvals for projects on reclaimed wetlands. Fire service personnel have managed smaller emergencies adequately, though their capacity during catastrophic events remains uncertain, Chowdhury acknowledged.
