Blast incidents leaving room for grave speculation

The pattern with which one after another blast incidents are taking place in the capital leaves us in the frame of mind that the Gulistan blast will not be the last of its kind. The matter is indeed very worrying. In terms of casualties, the Gulistan accident, if it can at all be called an accident, has taken a huge toll: so far, a total of 20 people were killed in the blast and many others injured.
However, there is very good reason to throw doubt over the blast as an accident since, as has been seen in the past, the relevant authorities, including the bomb disposal unit of the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit (CTTC), could not identify the cause of the explosion. Reportedly, CTTC speculated that the five possible reasons could cause the explosion at the six-storey building in Gulistan’s Siddikbazar. After examination of the collapsed building, the deceased and the injured persons, the bomb disposal came to the conclusion that gas accumulated in a locked area in the building’s basement and that later turned into a gas chamber. Could this happen without the notice of the building owners or people who used it?
Gas accumulation, however, is only a speculation. Since in similar incidents like this the exact reason of the blast could not be ascertained, a section of people among us also is of doubt whether these so-called accidents are acts of planned sabotage to create an atmosphere of panic and violence that can give political mileage. They are of the opinion that the government can benefit from such a situation.  
There are people who are even drawing a link in the motive between the insane attacks by a group of people on the country’s Ahmadiyya community at Panchagarh district with the Gulistan explosion. However, the problem that is even more dangerous is that people in general do not trust the words of the present government and its law enforcing agencies. Even if they speak the truth, people take their words doubtfully. It is a tragedy for the government but it does not understand this tragedy.
Yet, however, the fact is people are dying the most unnatural deaths when the government has a responsibility to protect the life and properties of the people. Keep the probability of sabotage; is the government serious about the expert warning that a massive earthquake is ticking like a time bomb for the capital? When there are at least 72,000 vulnerable buildings at risk of collapse across the capital city, it is difficult for us to imagine what a massive earthquake can cause us in absence of any preparation to handle such a predicament?
