It is time now........ authorities must make it compulsory that all building material importers/manufacture to get a quality assurance certificate according to international standards. Quite a lot of substandard products are circulating in the market and these are the results. A separate unit without any political interferences must do regular checks on materials and buildings and make sure standards are maintained. How many buildings are collapsed within short period of time?
