Mizanur said, “We have recommended updating some laws and rules of different departments, including Chattogram Port Authority.”

He hoped that the risk of such a deadly blast would reduce if the committee’s recommendations were implemented.

HUMAN REMAINS FOUND

More human remains, including a skull and bones, were found in the debris at BM Container Depot yesterday.

With this, the death toll from the incident increased by one and rose to 51, police said.

“A human skull and bones were found in the warehouse shed area around 10:15am when staffers of the depot were conducting cleaning,” Ashraful Karim, additional superintendent (Sitakunda Circle) of Chattogram police, told The Daily Star.

Police later sent the remains to Chattogram Medical College morgue.

Eight officials of the container depot were sued by Sitakunda police for negligence, but no charges were brought against the owners.
