A fire kills 52 people in a Banbladesh factory
- The fire broke out on Thursday in a food and drink factory near the capital, Dacc, causing at least 52 deaths and more than 30 injuries. Several people were also trapped in the building.
Debashish Bardhan, a firefighter and director of Civil Defense, explained that 49 bodies were recovered on the fourth floor of the Narayanganj city building, according to the newspaper The Daily Star. The Police has also prepared a list of the 38 missing persons, as reported by the Deputy Chief Police Inspector, Mithun Lal Vaidya.
Several people were injured when they jumped from the high floors of the building, while the firefighters rescued a dozen people from the roof. "It will take time to fully control the fire," the fire chief said in statements to Europe Press.
The causes of the fire are investigated, but the Dacca fire chief, Dinu Moni Sharma, has reported that inside the building there were extremely flammable chemicals and plastics.
Two years ago, 70 people died and 44 were injured in a chemical manufacturing company, where they supplied chemicals. And one of the most intense fires occurred in April 2013: More than 1,100 workers lost their lives in a clothing company in the mall of the capital. These are subcontracted workers by Benetton, El Corte Inglés, Mango and Primark.
