A fire has ravaged a readymade garment factory in Gazipur’s Tongi.
The fire broke out at ‘Season Dresses Limited’ around 7:30am on Friday.
A fire-fighting unit put out the blaze after about an hour’s effort, Gazipur Fire Service’s Deputy Assistant Director Md Akhtaruzzaman Liton said.
The fire has damaged goods at the factory but no-one has been injured.
The extent of the damage and cause of the fire could not be ascertained immediately.
But the workers say the factory lacked a fire-extinguishing system.
Akhtaruzzaman told bdnews24.com the fire was suspected to have originated in the factory’s ‘medical centre’.
