2 die in Narayanganj factory explosion
Two workers died and four sustained burns in an explosion at a steel mill factory in Narayanganj early yesterday.
The deceased were identified as Fahim (25) and Mizanur Rahman (33).
The explosion took place around 3am in the furnace of Premier Rerolling Steel Mill at Rupganj while the workers were working. The molten iron fell on them, leaving Mizan dead, said Mohammad Saji, brother of an injured.
The injured were rushed to Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka. They were later taken to a private hospital by the factory staffers.
Afterwards, Fahim's relatives took him to the emergency unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital where he died.
The four injured -- Abu Siddique (30), Razu (40), Shakil (20) and Rafique (45) -- were being treated at the private hospital in Dhaka. Of them, Rafique sustained 15 percent burns while the rest more than 90 percent, said Partha Sanker Paul, resident surgeon of the burn institute.
