Several firefighting units have been dispatched to the factory in the Bayezid Textile area
The fighter-bomber, which played a vital role in aid of Bangladesh Air Force during the 1971 war, was shifted on Wednesday to the building being built in Dhaka’s Agargaon.
India had lent the 46-foot plane to the newly formed air force in 1971, and later gifted it to the Liberation War Museum in 2000.
Museum Project Director Nesar Ahmed told bdnews24.com Bangladesh Air Force had kept the aircraft for the past 15 years because the museum lacked space to house it.
