Secretary General of Bangladesh Restaurant Owners Association Imran Hasan said that mobile courts are operated by multiple organizations in restaurants. Law enforcement forces such as Ansar, Police and elite force RAB are also trying to play a role in implementing food safety with their own magistrates. That may be a bit of an exaggeration. Because the government has formed an authority to implement safe food. Let them do the work. He said these things at a press conference at the head office of the Bangladesh Restaurant Owners Association in Vijaynagar of the capital on Tuesday (March 5) at 11:00 am. The press conference was held on ways to overcome the crisis in the restaurant industry after the recent Bailey Road fire and how to maintain the sanctity of the restaurant business in the coming month of Ramadan. Imran Hasan said that no one can escape the responsibility for the fire at Green Cozy Cottage on Bailey Road. The whole building was full of irregularities, the building was approved by Rajuk, Bangladesh Safe Food Authority overseeing the restaurant sector, National Consumer Rights and Protection Directorate, City Corporation, Factory Inspection Directorate, many departments and organizations including the Deputy Commissioner are connected. After 46 people lost their lives, Rajuk and Civil Defense were shaken. Since the incident, law enforcement forces have raided various restaurants in Dhaka city, seized cylinder gas bottles and arrested the staff. This is not a solution to the problem. He said, in the press conference, a decision should be reached by discussing the crisis caused by the recent fire, that the appropriate authorities will check and approve the restaurant before opening the restaurant. In the press conference, he said, Titas gas is not sufficient. There is no gas in the line even though there is a line connection. Now the alternative system is to use gas cylinders or use wood, if wood is used, the entire restaurant including the kitchen becomes black, the environment is not right. I want a proper investigation of the incident by forming a high-powered task force on the whole matter and a definite guideline should be made for the future, so that restaurants like the umbrella of the frog do not flourish. At the same time, he also commented that he wants to do restaurant business while maintaining purity in the upcoming Ramadan. On the other hand, expressing grief over the death of 46 people in the fire, the Bangladesh Restaurant Owners Association has announced a program to raise black flags and hold black badges in every restaurant next Thursday (February 7).
