Fire at Ctg Shopping Complex brought under control after 90 minutes

A fire that broke out at the Chittagong Shopping
Complex, located near the city's Sholashahar Gate No 2 area, this morning was
brought under control after approximately one and a half hours.
According to the fire service control room, the alert
was received at 9:40am. In response, five units from two separate stations were
dispatched immediately to the scene.
Abdul Mannan, deputy assistant director of Chattogram
Fire Service and Civil Defence, confirmed that while the flames have been
extinguished, a heavy blanket of smoke remains trapped inside the market.
"The fire is under control. However, due to the
dense smoke accumulated within the building, we have not yet been able to
confirm if anyone is trapped inside. Our firefighters are currently working
through the smoke to conduct a thorough search," the official stated.
The exact cause of the fire and the extent of the
damage are yet to be determined as investigations continue, he said.
