A fire broke out in a mini cargo carrying 230 tons of Indonesian coal, which was seized by the forest department in the Bhola river of Sundarbans' Sharankhola range. On Wednesday morning, forest guards noticed smoke coming from the coal and informed the fire service, who brought the fire under control after about an hour of effort.
Earlier on October 18, forest guards seized the cargo along with nine people during patrol in the Bhola river for attempting to smuggle coal illegally through the Sundarbans. A case was filed against them at Sharankhola police station. The fire service stated that the smoke was caused by excessive heat in the lower section of the coal cargo.
