Land developers are filling low-lying lands around Dhaka city for the construction of buildings without applying earthquake resisting measures, speakers at a seminar said yesterday.
The developers are also not following the National Building Code while filling the low-lying lands, they added.
"We need to update the National Building Code, which should feature the latest developments in earthquake-resistant design," Communication Adviser Maj Gen (retd) Ghulam Quader said as the chief guest.
