Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed her anger over the girder crash accident in Uttara which killed five members of a family and ordered authorities to find and punish the perpetrators. She asked the authorities to identify those responsible for the disaster as soon as possible, said Planning Minister MA Mannan following the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council meeting on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com. Five members of a family were crushed to death as a girder to be used for the Bus Rapid Transit project fell on a passing car on Monday. A day later, the city authorities suspended all work on the project, saying proper safety measures were not taken while work was ongoing. There were two previous girder accidents on the project, one of which led to another death.
