A fire has devastated a shoe insole factory in Chattogram’s Bayezid area.
The Rong Da International factory had caught fire in the Bandartila area before relocation to Bayezid.
In the latest incident on Friday, people called the Fire Service and Civil Defence after noticing smoke billowing from the factory at Textile Bend around 4pm, half an hour after the workers left, the fire service and police said.
As many as nine units of firefighters brought the fire under control around 5:50pm, said Dinomoni Sharma, a deputy director of the fire service in Chattogram Division.
He said an investigation was needed to find out the origin of the fire and assess the extent of damage.
Sanjay Kumar Sinha, chief of Bayezid Bostami Police Station, said the fire might have been caused by overheating of a machine.
Chinese firm Rong Da International’s comments on the incident were not immediately available.
The factory caught fire on Apr 6 last year when it was located in a portion of the TCB warehouse in Bandartila.
