'Those who control Bangladesh's politics are inherently undemocratic and the standard of education and training of the ruling class here is very low.' New Age Editor Nurul Kabir came up with the observation on November 18, a day after ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death in a case of crimes against humanity, the first such case in Bangladesh's history in which a former prime minister has been sentenced to death.

Dhaka, home to about 20 million people, is now a highly risky city regarding earthquakes. Because the Madhupur Fault of the tectonic plate, which is within 60 kilometers of this city, has become active again where pressure has been building up for about 400 years. The sub-plates near this plate are also within 20 kilometers of Dhaka city. If a massive earthquake occurs when the strong pressure of these plates is released, a terrible disaster will befall the capital Dhaka. However, the damage will not be the same in all areas of city. Some areas will see much more and some areas will have relatively less damage. The Earthquake Observation and Research Center of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department has reported this information.

As the day went on, the horror of the incident became even clearer.
