A fire that broke out in a shop at the Manjur Khan Plaza market in Chawkbazar, Dhaka, continues to burn after more than eight hours. Fire Service teams have been working to extinguish the blaze since Monday evening, with ten units actively engaged as of 2:00 AM on Tuesday, October 12th. Firefighters are facing significant challenges due to the narrow lanes, limited water supply, and intense smoke hindering their efforts in Dhaka. The fire initially started at 5:04 PM on Monday at the Manjur Khan Plaza. Authorities are continuing to assess the situation and work towards bringing the fire under control, but progress remains slow given the logistical difficulties presented by the dense, urban environment of Chawkbazar. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, and investigations will commence once the situation is stabilized.
