At least 43 dead in Bangladesh building fire

At least 43 people have died in a devastating building fire in Bangladesh. The fire broke out in a commercial building in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, on Wednesday morning.

Local authorities have stated that the fire started on the lower floors of the building and quickly spread to upper floors, trapping many people inside. Firefighters worked tirelessly to extinguish the blaze and rescue survivors.

Rescue teams have been able to recover the bodies of 43 victims so far, but the death toll is expected to rise as they continue their search for more casualties. Several people have also been injured in the fire and have been taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but initial reports suggest that faulty wiring may have been the source of the blaze. The building did not have proper fire safety measures in place, further exacerbating the situation.

Authorities are urging building owners to ensure that all necessary fire safety precautions are in place to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims during this difficult time.
