Tragic Clothing Factory Blaze in the South Asian nation Has Taken at Least 16 Victims
A minimum of 16 persons have died after a huge fire erupted at a garment factory in Bangladesh, with officials stating that the fatality count could climb.
A total of sixteen bodies have been recovered but were charred beyond recognition, the firefighters said.
Distraught relatives converged outside the four-storey factory in the Mirpur district of Dhaka on Tuesday in search of their loved ones still not found.
The inferno, which erupted at the factory around noon, was brought under control after three hours. But an adjacent chemical warehouse continued to burn, officials confirmed.
Until 21:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Tuesday, the fire at the chemical warehouse had not been entirely put out, journalistic accounts indicated.
Fire department authorities have not ascertained which of the two buildings caught fire first.
Based on witnesses, the chemical warehouse housed bleaching powder, plastic and chemical peroxide, all of which can accelerate fires. Synthetic materials also produces poisonous gases when combusted.
Security personnel are still searching for the proprietors of the factory and the warehouse, emergency services head the department director told the media.
An investigation on whether the warehouse was functioning with proper authorization is also in progress, he added.
Weeping family members gathered outside the charred buildings, many of them clutching photographs of their unaccounted for relatives.
Among them is a man searching desperately for his daughter, his loved one.
"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 expressed to news media.
The catastrophic occurrence has another time highlighted the security issues facing Bangladesh's apparel manufacturing, which employs millions of workers and is a crucial provider of export earnings for the nation.
