“We are surrounded by different hazards as Savar is an industrial zone. When Rana Plaza building collapsed, it was the neighborhood people who responded first and came to rescue the people stuck inside.

Abdul Gani, Mayor, Savar Municipality, in a MoU signing ceremony between Save the Children in Bangladesh, Social and Economic Enhancement Programme - SEEP and Savar Municipality.
