Tragic Clothing Factory Blaze in the South Asian nation Takes no Fewer than 16 Lives
No fewer than 16 people have died after a huge fire started at a apparel factory in Bangladesh, with authorities stating that the death toll could increase.
A total of sixteen bodies have been retrieved but were incinerated beyond recognition, the fire service reported.
Grief-stricken relatives gathered outside the multi-story factory in Mirpur, Dhaka on Tuesday in looking for their dear ones still unaccounted for.
The blaze, which started at the factory around midday, was extinguished after three hours. But an adjacent chemical warehouse continued to burn, emergency services said.
Until 21:00 local time (15:00 GMT) that day, the fire at the chemical warehouse had not been entirely put out, journalistic accounts indicated.
Emergency responders have not established which of the two buildings ignited initially.
According to witnesses, the chemical warehouse stored bleaching powder, plastic and hydrogen peroxide, all of which can intensify fires. Plastic also releases hazardous smoke when ignited.
Security personnel are still searching for the proprietors of the factory and the warehouse, fire service director Mohammad Tajul Islam Chowdhury informed journalists.
An probe on whether the warehouse was operating legally is also currently underway, he mentioned.
Crying family members waited outside the fire-damaged buildings, many of them clutching photographs of their missing relatives.
Among them is a man seeking urgently for his daughter, his family member.
"When I learned of the fire, I hurried to the scene. But I still cannot locate her... I just want my child back," he stated to news media.
The catastrophic occurrence has once again highlighted the security issues plaguing Bangladesh's apparel manufacturing, which provides jobs for numerous of workers and is a crucial provider of economic income for the South Asian economy.
