DHAKA, July 28, 2026 (BSS) - Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Administrator Md. Shafiqul Islam Khan today said a probe committee comprising representatives from RAJUK, the Public Works Department (PWD) and the DNCC will be formed to investigate the collapse of a wall at Mirpur College in the capital's Mirpur-2 area that left two people dead and seven others injured.

He made the announcement while speaking to reporters after visiting the site of the tragic incident today.

The administrator said necessary legal action would be taken against those responsible after the investigation committee submits its report.

"No death is desirable. I am deeply saddened by today's incident," he said.

Shafiqul said preliminary findings suggest that the wall, constructed in 2014, was not built using the required construction materials.

Instead of a reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structure, the wall was built only with brick masonry, which could be one of the causes of the collapse, he added.

He said discussions would be held with the college authorities to ensure that the remaining walls are properly reinforced and made safe to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Replying to a question about those injured while collecting Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) products, the DNCC administrator said efforts would be made to provide them with financial assistance.

He also said that, following the Prime Minister's directive, arrangements had been made to provide free treatment to the injured at hospitals.

Local Member of Parliament Sanjida Islam Tulee, the Chief Engineer of Dhaka North City Corporation and local political leaders were present during the visit to the accident site.

Earlier on Tuesday afternoon, two people were killed on the spot and seven others were injured when a wall of Mirpur College collapsed in the Mirpur-2 area.
