US EditionHuge Fire Breaks Out In Bangladesh's Dhaka, Hundreds Of Shops Destroyed
- In a devastating incident, a massive fire destroyed hundreds of shops at a market in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital. Fortunately, no casualties were reported as the blaze erupted before the stores opened. The fire, believed to have been caused by an electric short circuit, took six hours to be brought under control by military forces and firefighters.
- The fire swiftly spread throughout the Mohammadpur market due to the presence of highly flammable items such as cooking oil and plastics. This tragic incident highlights the recurring issue of fires in densely populated Dhaka, where safety measures are often neglected amidst a building boom. Faulty gas cylinders, air conditioners, and bad electrical wiring contribute to frequent fires and explosions in the area.
- Just a few months ago, another fire in a shopping complex in Dhaka resulted in the injury of several firefighters and the destruction of around 5,000 stores. The repeated occurrence of such incidents emphasizes the urgent need for improved safety regulations and better maintenance of electrical systems in the city.
