A massive fire broke out at a six-storey factory outside Bangladesh’s capital city Dhaka killing at least 52 people and injuring over 50 others, according to the media outlets.
The fire broke out at around 5 pm on Thursday night at the five-story Hashem Food and Beverage Ltd. factory in Rupganj, just outside Dhaka.
Rescue operations are continuing, Debasish Bardhan, deputy director of the Fire Service and Civil Defense said local media. He said the top two floors have not yet been searched.
The main exit of the factory, which processes juice, soft drinks and other food items, was locked from the inside, he said.
Information about how many people were in the factory and how many were missing was not immediately available.
“For now, we only have these details. After searching the top floors we will be able to get a complete picture,” Mr. Bardhan told media outlets.
