Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has identified eight more bodies, which remained unidentified in Chattogram’s BM Container Depot fire incident, through DNA tests.

June was already looking bad. Sadly, there was more to come.

Another firefighter, who sustained critical injures at Sitakunda's BM container depot fire, died at a hospital in Dhaka early today.

In the last week of May, the Hathazari-based Al-Razi Chemical Complex was warned of the hazards of storing hydrogen peroxide in jerrycans. But the company was not stirred to action.

A majority of those injured in the Chattogram depot blasts have suffered eye injuries and many are at risk of permanent vision loss.

Following the fire and explosions in BM Container Depot at Chattogram’s Sitakunda upazila, chemical-mixed water has been spreading in the vicinity.
