A devastating fire gutted nine business establishments in the Kalabagan area of Khagrachari municipality, causing primary estimates of several crore taka in damages. The fire originated around 2:45 AM on Friday night and quickly spread around, prompting two firefighting units to rush to the scene and bring the blaze under control after nearly three hours of effort.
Local residents, along with the Bangladesh Army (Khagrachari Sadar Zone), police personnel, and local political and social organization leaders, assisted in putting out the fire, bringing it completely under control by early morning. The fire destroyed nine businesses including wooden shops and furniture factories, as well as a tomtom auto-rickshaw.
Khagrachari Fire Service Station Officer Mukul Kumar Nath stated that the fire spread rapidly because the shops were made of wood and tin, and firefighters faced severe difficulties due to an acute water shortage. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, leaving affected business owners devastated after losing everything.
