Recommendations to prevent landslide tragedies largely ignored [1]

The authorities concerned have done little to translate into reality the recommendations made by the probe bodies last year after the catastrophic landslide in Chittagong city that killed 126 people, said sources.
Residents blamed the government for not taking effective steps to protect the port city from landslide tragedies.
Consequently another landslide tragedy, the latest of its kind, hit the city's Motijarna slum in Lalkhan Bazaar on Monday, killing 11 sleeping residents, they said.
