A fire raged through a slum near the capital’s Farmgate area, destroying several shanties on Wednesday. But no casualties have been reported so far.
Fire service officials said that the flames erupted around 8:30am on Wednesday at the slum behind the Green Supermarket.
“It took ten fire fighting units almost an hour to put it out,” said Fire Service Control Room in charge Palash Chandra Modak told bdnews24.com.
Officials, however, are yet to say how the fire may have started at the slum.
No casualties have been reported.
