Mr. Kamal, Malibagh, 23 November: A massive fire broke out in a garment factory unit of the Amin group at Malibagh yesterday leaving at least 15 people dead.
Still, nobody knows where the fire originated from. About 220 people work in this unit. The fire burnt at least forty-five. According to local people fire broke out at around 9 pm and smoke immediately engulfed the whole building which could not let the people come out of the building despite their hard effort. The fire brigade and Civil Defence reached the spot immediately and tried to extinguish the fire in collaboration with local people but they failed to control the fire. However, personals from Bangladesh Army and helicopters from Bangladesh Air Force saved many people. Finally, their combined effort brought the fire under control after they had tried heart and soul for 9 hours. However, the fire already claimed 15 lives and left many others seriously wounded. The injured were admitted into many local hospitals and clinics. The concerned authority has formed a 5-member inquiry committee to investigate the source of the fire.
