Around 3,000 shops were gutted in an early morning fire at Banga Bazaar, a popular clothing market in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka.
600 firemen and soldiers spent 6 hours dousing the raging fire and brought the fire under control.
These small shops set up between the blocks are always crowded as they offer cheap clothes.
Traders have suffered heavy losses due to extra stock in every shop ahead of Ramadan.
