[Riyad]

The report is in Bengali. It says a US based company KPC group will construct a 130 storied tower building in Dhaka. It would be world's 2nd tallest building. They demanded 95 acres of land in Purbachal, Dhaka but authority has decided to allocate 60 acres to the company. There would be hotel, convention centre, shopping centre, exhibition centre etc.

yea but intensity is vary from region to region..some areas are more prone to earthquakes and floods

Only recently have scientists come to recognize that Bangladesh is positioned at the juncture of several active tectonic plate boundaries. Moreover, it sits atop the world’s largest river delta at close to sea level, facing both the risk posed by a quake and secondary risks of tsunamis and flooding in the quake’s aftermath. These teaching case materials show the fieldwork of an international team of scientists working to provide Bangladeshi leaders the tools they need to understand and minimize geologic risks. Using both seismic and sedimentary data, scientists are attempting to model the interactions between past earthquakes and river-course shifts – an invaluable aid in predicting future quakes and how they could impact this unique terrain.

Cool building...but I have never heard of the KPC Group. They obviously aren't a major player.
