.......................................................................Bamboo replacing iron rods
Unfettered and dangerous innovation
Our people are known for innovations but some novelties can gravely threaten public life and safety. The use of bamboo replacing iron rods for building purposes is one such innovation that takes the cake. Of late this novelty has been added to our building industry, though related to entirely public construction. This time the masons were found using bamboo alongside iron rods in the extension of a Bandarban Government Women's College academic building, on the instructions of the contractors, according to the masons.
This is not the first time such gross violation of building code has been exposed. And the only reason why previous instances are being replicated is because the code-violators have not been held to account and made example of. What is regrettable is that the supervising engineers may be complicit in this act. In this case, statements of various persons associated with the construction -- the masons, contractor and the engineers of the CHTDB, are contradictory but nonetheless clearly indicate that there has been collusion at every level.
The matter has come to light after a good deal of construction work has been completed, and one wonders what the quality of material used for the construction that has been done so far, might be. It also speaks of the lax, deliberate or otherwise, supervision of the superior authority in the development board.
Needless to say, violation of building code endangers life, and is no less culpable an offense than deliberate manslaughter. These acts must not be taken lightly, and all those in the line of responsibility must be taken to task for dereliction of duty and corruption.
