A fire broke out at Nixon Market, adjacent to the Freedom Fighters’ Complex in Bagerhat town, destroying 15 temporary shops and causing losses estimated at around BDT 5 million worth of winter garments.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday. Upon receiving the alert, the Bagerhat Fire Service responded promptly and managed to bring the fire under control after nearly two hours of effort. The cause of the fire could not be determined immediately.
Members of the Private Sector Emergency Response Team under the Bagerhat Chamber of Commerce and Industry worked alongside the Fire Service during the firefighting operation. Business leaders from the Chamber have since visited the affected site to assess the damage.
