Devastating Apparel Factory Inferno in Bangladesh Has Taken a Minimum of 16 Lives
A minimum of 16 persons have died after a massive fire erupted at a clothing factory in Bangladesh, with authorities stating that the death toll could climb.
A total of sixteen bodies have been retrieved but were incinerated unrecognizable, the fire service stated.
Grief-stricken relatives assembled outside the four-storey factory in Mirpur, Dhaka on that day in search of their family members still missing.
The fire, which started at the factory around lunchtime, was brought under control after several hours. But an adjacent chemical warehouse remained ablaze, emergency services reported.
Up until 21:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Tuesday, the fire at the chemical warehouse had not been entirely put out, news sources said.
Fire service officials have not established which of the two buildings caught fire first.
According to witnesses, the chemical warehouse stored chemical bleaching agents, synthetic polymers and chemical peroxide, all of which can accelerate fires. Polymer products also produces poisonous gases when burned.
Law enforcement and armed forces are still searching for the operators of the factory and the warehouse, emergency services head Mohammad Tajul Islam Chowdhury briefed journalists.
An inquiry on whether the warehouse was running according to regulations is also currently underway, he mentioned.
Crying family members gathered outside the fire-damaged buildings, many of them grasping photographs of their lost relatives.
Present at the scene is a man seeking urgently for his daughter, Farzana Akhter.
"When I learned of the fire, I hurried to the scene. But I still cannot locate her... I just want my loved one back," he stated to reporters.
The catastrophic occurrence has once again emphasized the security issues affecting Bangladesh's apparel manufacturing, which provides jobs for countless of workers and is a major contributor to economic income for the nation.
