Massive Fire Ravages Bangladesh Clothing Market During Eid Season

Firefighters and army personnel have put out a massive fire that burned down around 5,000 stores in a crowded shopping complex in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka. The fire broke out in the early hours before businesses had opened and injured several firefighters. Most of the stores, which were fully stocked ahead of the festival of Eid later this month, were burnt to the ground in the blaze. Bangladesh has a history of lax safety norms, and hundreds of people have died in fires in the country over the years.
