Dhaka, March 24 -- From the geological perspective, Bangladesh is situated at the confluence of three tectonic plates. As a result, although it is not classified as a region prone to severe earthquakes, Bangladesh remains at considerable risk of experiencing devastating seismic events. Recently, within a span of several weeks, multiple tremors have been felt across the country. These minor earthquakes serve as harbingers of potentially more significant seismic activity in the near future.

It has been measured through GPS that there is a yearly compression of 1 to 1.5 meters. Based on this, a substantial amount of seismic energy, capable of triggering a powerful earthquake of magnitude 8.2 to 9, is being stored in the region. This seismic...
