A teenage boy has died and five others have been injured after an under-construction wall of a shop collapsed in Lakshmipur’s Ramganj Upazila.
The incident occurred on Sunday as the wall of a shop under construction collapsed at the intersection in the Upazila town, said Ramganj Police chief Md Firoz Uddin Chowdhury.
The victim has been identified as 16-year-old Fahad Hossain, an SSC candidate at Nichahara Shamaj Kallyan High School.
CCTV footage shows the wall on the roof of the shop collapsed, burying Fahad and his mother as they were standing nearby.
They were rescued by locals and taken to the Upazila health complex, where doctors declared Fahad dead.
One of the injured has been transferred to Dhaka for better treatment.
Ramganj Upazila administrator (UNO) Farashid Bin Enam said the shop was unauthorised.
Police said no one has been detained in the incident yet.
Meanwhile, a construction worker died after a boundary wall caved in at Chapainawabganj Municipality.
The dead is Nairul Islam, 24, a resident of Chapainawabganj Sadar Upazila.
Sadar Police chief Nure Alam said Nairul died while constructing a drain in Kotpara around 11am.
“The boundary wall of an adjacent house collapsed suddenly, leaving him dead on the spot,” he said, citing witnesses.
The process of necessary legal measures is under way, he added.
