Narayanganj: A fire, which was triggered by an explosion, hit a building in Narayanganj's Nitaiganj area in Bangladesh which left at least one person dead and nine others hurt on Saturday.

The incident occurred in the two-storey structure in Nitaiganj's Dalpatti around 9 am on Saturday, Fakhruddin Ahmed, deputy assistant director of Narayanganj fire service, told bdnews24.

The deceased was identified as Aulad.

The injured people were rushed to hospital for treatment.

Six fire fighting units reached the spot to douse the flames.

The cause of the fire is still not known.

The building, owned by Elias Dewan, the former president of the Narayanganj District Flour Mill Owners Association, is almost a hundred years old, according to Abdul Qadir, chief of the Nitaiganj Multilateral Association.

"The top floor of the building was declared abandoned for 10 years," he told the news portal.
