World / Bangladesh Massive fire at a factory in Bangladesh 40 killed and 30 injured many missing

Bangladesh: A massive fire broke out at a factory in Bangladesh on Friday, killing 52 people. At least 30 people were injured in this fierce fire. The fire was so severe that many workers jumped down from the top floor to save their lives, news agency AFP reported. It is reported that dozens are still missing.

It is not yet clear how many people are trapped inside the factory, but distressed relatives outside and other factory workers said they fear that it may be difficult for those trapped inside to escape.

Fire service spokesperson Debashish Bardhan said, “Once the fire is doused, we will conduct search and rescue operations inside. Only then can we confirm that there is no casualty."

Factory worker Mohammad Saiful, who survived the fire, said there were dozens of people inside when the fire broke out. Mamoon, another worker, said that he and 13 other workers had fled to the terrace as the fire broke out on the ground floor and black smoke spread throughout the factory. He said, “On the third floor, the gates of both the stairs were closed. Other companions are telling that there were more than 50 people inside. I don't know what happened to them."

Mamoon told that the fire service personnel brought him down through a rope. People gathered outside the factory to know about their family and relatives.
