Huge Fire Destroys Hundreds of Shops in Bangladesh

A major fire broke out in a Dhaka bazaar, the capital of Bangladesh, during the night, causing extensive damage to hundreds of shops. The rapid spread of the flames was attributed to the presence of highly flammable materials in the shops. Firefighters and soldiers managed to bring the fire under control after approximately 6 hours, and fortunately, there were no reported casualties. The fire is believed to have originated from an electrical malfunction. This incident follows a similar one in April when a fire destroyed at least 5,000 shops in a Dhaka clothing market
