6 of a family burnt in N'ganj explosion

Six members of a family were burnt in a fire caused from an explosion at their flat in Narayanganj early Tuesday.

Mandalpara Fire Service and Civil Defence station officer Belal Hossain said the incident happened around 12:30am at a six-storey building at Masdair area.

Injured Md Mishal, 26, a readymade garment worker, his wife Mita Begum, 23, their daughter Afsana Akhter, 4, and one-an-a-half-year old son Minhaj, Mishal's brother-in-lawa Mahfuz, 24, and Sabbir Hossain, 15, are undergoing treatment at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
The explosion might have originated from gas cylinder leakage. Being informed, two fire fighting units went to the spot. But the locals put the blaze under control before the fire fighters reached there, Belal Hossain said.

Hearing cry for help of the house inmates, the neighbours from other flats rushed to the scene and rescued the victims.

Most of the furniture at the flat were burnt down in the fire.
