Deadly Fire in Dhaka Shopping Mall Claims 45 Lives

The blaze, which started in a restaurant, was exacerbated by safety failures, including inadequate emergency exits.

At least 45 people were killed in a devastating fire at a shopping mall in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with dozens more injured.
The fire began in a restaurant on the first floor and quickly spread, trapping many inside.
Firefighters battled the blaze for two hours before bringing it under control.
Safety lapses, including the lack of emergency exits and the storage of gas cylinders in stairwells, contributed to the tragedy.
