Every December, a strange light ignites in the heart of Bangladesh— victory, grief and pride blend into an overwhelming emotion. The victory of 1971 was not just the end of a war, but the triumph of a nation fighting for existence, the liberation of a civilisation.

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.
