Dhaka: At least three people have been killed, 20 others were injured and many were feared stuck after a massive fire rampage through a factory in Bangladesh, officials said on Friday.
The cause of the fire, which comes from the ground floor of a multi-floor building from the juice factory on Thursday night in Narayanganj, 20 km (12 miles) from Dhaka, not immediately known.
“It is not clear how many workers are trapped.
We are gathering information,” said Mustain Billah, said Narayangan District Administrator, told Reuters from the scene.
Two people died at the scene and one third in the hospital, he added, with 20 injured people.
All of them were injured when they jumped from the second floor and the third floor of the building, Shah Alam, said a fire officer.
