Two ministers stuck in lift for 20 minutes
Two ministers got stuck in a lift for about 20 minutes after the lift went down several floors at speed in the Ekushey TV building in Karwan Bazar early Friday.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid Bipu and State Minister for Information and Communications Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak along with several others were leaving the building after taking part in the “Ekusher Raat” programme of the TV station when the incident happened, said sources in the channel.
At 1:05am, the lift dropped (not a free fall) from the seventh-floor to the ground floor at speed, said fire service and civil defence sources.
All the people inside were rescued and they did not have any major injuries. The talk-show anchor Anjan Roy posted in his Facebook page that the state ministers were invited to attend the talk-show on the occasion of Awami League's founding anniversary.
