Shawdesh Desk:

A fire broke out in a garbage dump near central office of BNP in Dhaka’s Nayapaltan area on Tuesday morning.

The fire caused panic among the leaders of the party.

Plumes of smoke started to spread out of the rubbish located at a narrow space between the BNP office building and Victoria Hotel at around 11:30am.

BNP leaders, including Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, attempted to douse the fire with water and fire extinguishers.

The fire, however, doused before a fire service vehicle arrived at the spot 15 minutes later.
