At least 46 dead in Bangladesh building fire

At least 46 people have been confirmed dead in a devastating building fire in Bangladesh. The fire broke out in a multi-story building in the capital city of Dhaka. Firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the blaze but were met with challenges due to the building’s complex structure.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but initial reports suggest that it may have been sparked by an electrical malfunction. The building, which housed several businesses and residential units, did not have adequate fire safety measures in place, leading to the high number of casualties.

Rescue efforts are ongoing as emergency personnel continue to search for survivors and recover bodies from the charred remains of the building. The government has announced an inquiry into the incident to determine accountability and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
