Bangladesh shopping centre fire doused after 27 hours FMTNews FMTWorld
DHAKA: Firefighters, supported by military personnel, in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka finally extinguished a blaze that had swept through a three-story shopping complex some 27 hours after it erupted, in the second such incident in two weeks.
The fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday morning, when most of the nearly 1,500 shops in the complex were shut. Most of the stores in the three-storey building were fully stocked ahead of the Muslim festival of Eid later this month.“Eid is just around the corner, and we lost everything. Such a great crisis came upon us at such a time,” shop owner Mohammad Rubel said in tears.
Lax regulations and poor enforcement have been blamed for industrial fires that have plagued Bangladesh.
