The tragic fire at Green Cozy Cottage in Dhaka serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of neglecting fire safety regulations. While having multiple restaurants in multi-story buildings is not inherently wrong, doing so without proper planning, approvals, and safety measures creates a dangerous situation. This incident exposes the flaws in our approach to building development and highlights the need for collective action to ensure public safety.
