Two people died yesterday morning after they fell from a height of about 50 feet while painting a building's exterior in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Industrial Park in Munshiganj's Gazaria upazila.
The deceased were identified as Md Shahid, 27, and Abdus Sobhan, 25, both from Madaripur, said Molla Soheb Ali, officer-in-charge of Gazaria Police Station.
