Cotton mill gutted


At least 10 people were injured when a fire ripped through a cotton mill at Muladi village in Sreepur Upazila yesterday.

An electrical short circuit sparked off the fire that burned down the Ekota Composite Mill.

The blaze started at around 8:15am, forcing the panic-stricken workers to come out of the mill, said the mill authorities.

Ten people were injured either in stampede or while trying to extinguish the blaze. Two of them were identified as Liton and Monowar.
