Deadly fire at Bangladesh food processing factory

Blaze kills at least three people and injures 30 others, with some people jumping from upper floors to escape the fire.

A massive blaze in a Bangladesh factory has killed at least three people and injured 30 others, with some people jumping from the upper floors to escape the fire, police said. It was unclear how many people were trapped inside, though distraught relatives outside and other factory workers said they feared that others might not have escaped. Fires are common in Bangladesh due to the lax enforcement of safety rules. In February 2019, 70 people died when an inferno ripped through several Dhaka apartment blocks.
