The government has assured the nation that all recent fire incidents across the country are being investigated with the highest level of vigilance to protect lives and property.

In a statement issued by the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Saturday evening, the Interim Government said it is fully aware of public concern regarding major fires in several locations.

“The security services are investigating each incident thoroughly and protecting lives and property with utmost vigilance,” the statement read.

It further warned that any credible evidence of sabotage or arson would be met with a “swift and resolute response,” emphasizing that no criminal act or provocation will be allowed to disrupt public life or the political process.

“Let us be clear: if these fires prove to be acts of sabotage, and their aim is to sow panic and division, they’ll succeed only if we allow fear to overtake our reason and resolve,” the statement added.

Reaffirming the nation’s resilience, the government said, “Bangladesh has faced many challenges before, and together we will face any threats to our new democracy with unity, calm, and determination. We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
