DHAKA:  Cooperation from Bangladesh Army has been sought to prevent further collapse in the damaged Hotel Sundarban and its adjacent establishments in city’s Kathalbagan area.

Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Annisul Huq said a letter has already been sent to the ministry concerned seeking army cooperation and joining the ongoing efforts to halt building collapse.

“The Sundarban Hotel is at risk. We need military cooperation to prevent the breach,” he added.



The DNCC mayor said, “We need cooperation from the army as no further damage will occurred in the place adjacent to collapsed under construction building and damaged the Sundarban hotel.”
