When a fire broke out in Bangabazar earlier this month, it took the first unit of firefighters minutes to reach the site. But the fire engine ran out of water in about 10 minutes and the blaze turned into an inferno soon after.
Bangabazar market fire: Belayet Hossain and his four brothers had to take out a loan to invest Tk 50 lakh for their business selling readymade garments at Bangabazar market ahead of Eid.
They invested the money they had and the money they could borrow in the hope of good business ahead of Eid but within a few hours yesterday, they lost everything.
