Chinese Ambassador in Dhaka Li Jiming has assured that there will be no objection to taking punitive action as recommended by the probe committee against those responsible for the BRT project's fatal girder fall.
Li Jiming made the assurance during a courtesy meeting with Road Transport and Highways Division Secretary ABM Amin Ullah Nuri at the Secretariat on Thursday morning, reports UNB.
The Chinese envoy expressed deep grief over the loss of lives in the accident and prayed for the quick recovery of the injured.
A high-level delegation of the Chinese contractor of the Roads and Highways Department's Dhaka BRT project had arrived in Bangladesh from China to investigate on behalf of the company, he added.
The delegation is ready to provide necessary assistance to the probe committee.
Five people including two children were crushed to death after a girder, part of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, fell on a car in the capital’s Uttara on Monday last.
