The stage built for the celebration of 57th founding anniversary of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) in Mymensingh caught fire last night.
President Abdul Hamid is scheduled to attend the programme today as the chief guest.
Seven fire engines brought the fire under control around 12:15am, said Shahidur Rahman, deputy director (in charge) of Mymensingh Fire Service and Civil Defence. The fire had broken out around 11:15pm.
The cause of the fire could not be known immediately.
The president is also supposed to inaugurate ''Haor and Chor Development Institute'' at the university following today's programme.
BAU Proctor Atikur Rahman Khokon said they had handed over the charge of the stage to Special Security Force members in the evening.
He added that they would try their best to hold the programme if the president agreed to join.
