A fire has broken out at the BGB market in Dhaka’s Uttara.
The fire in the market was reported around 10:25 am on Monday, fire service official Shahjahan Sikder said.
“Five firefighting units were able to tame the blaze at 11:10 am after an hour and 15 minutes of effort.”
Video shared on social media showed black smoke rising from the tin-roofed market and people rushing about trying to recover rolls of cloth.
Badrul Hassan, deputy police commissioner of the Uttara Zone, said that the fire initially started at a store for motor parts at the tin-roofed one-storey marketplace.
Six to seven stores were burnt in the fire, but no casualties have been reported so far, he said.
