The High court (HC) on Wednesday asked the authorities concerned to explain why it would not pay Tk1 crore in compensation for each of the five victims' families who were crushed to death after a 50-60 tonnes girder fell on their car at Uttara's Jasimuddin road on Monday.

The court also asked to reply why the inaction of the authorities to prevent accidents should not be declared illegal.

The home secretary, roads and highways secretary, LGRD secretary and related parties were made respondents to the rule within four weeks.

The court also directed Dhaka Bus Rapid Transit Company Ltd (Dhaka BRT) to submit a report within two months on the safety measures taken by them during the construction of the flyover during the last five years.

After the primary hearing on a writ regarding the accident, the bench comprising Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Ahmed Sohel issued the rule.

Lawyer Shahjahan Akand Masum filed the writ on behalf of Supreme Court (SC) lawyer Zakaria Khan.
