Deadly Clothing Factory Blaze in Bangladesh Takes no Fewer than 16 Lives
At least 16 people have died after a enormous fire started at a garment factory in Bangladesh, with emergency services warning that the death toll could increase.
Sixteen bodies have been found but were burned beyond recognition, the fire service reported.
Grief-stricken relatives converged outside the four-level factory in Dhaka's Mirpur area on Tuesday in search of their loved ones still not found.
The fire, which started at the factory around midday, was put out after several hours. But an adjacent chemical warehouse kept burning, emergency services reported.
Until 21:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Tuesday, the fire at the chemical warehouse had not been fully extinguished, journalistic accounts reported.
Emergency responders have not ascertained which of the two buildings caught fire first.
Per eyewitnesses, the chemical warehouse stored industrial bleaches, synthetic polymers and chemical peroxide, all of which can worsen fires. Polymer products also emits poisonous gases when ignited.
Law enforcement and armed forces are still attempting to find the owners of the factory and the warehouse, emergency services head the fire service official told journalists.
An inquiry on whether the warehouse was functioning with proper authorization is also in progress, he noted.
Tearful family members gathered outside the fire-damaged buildings, many of them holding photographs of their unaccounted for relatives.
Included in the crowd is a man seeking urgently for his daughter, his loved one.
"When I was informed of the fire, I rushed here. But I still have been unable to find her... I just want my daughter back," he stated to reporters.
The tragic incident has yet again underscored the safety concerns facing Bangladesh's clothing sector, which provides jobs for millions of workers and is a significant provider of export earnings for the South Asian economy.
