The fire started from a cloth godown at the market at about 9:00am and spread to adjacent shops immediately, he added.

Six units of fire fighters from Tangail and adjacent Mirzapur and Basail upazilas immediately rushed to the spot and doused the flames in half-an-hour, said Assistant Director of Fire Service and Civil Defense in Tangail Monir Hossain.

“The reason behind the fire could not be known immediately. It might have been caused by electric short-circuit or a mosquito coil,” he added.
