Another victim of the shoe factory fire succumbed to his injuries last night at the Burn and Plastic Surgery Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
The dead Montu Miah, 40, along with three other workers, had sustained burns when a shoe factory at Alinagar in Kamrangirchar caught fire from an electric short circuit on April 10.
He died around 10pm while undergoing treatment, leaving behind his wife Nazma Begum and three children.
The death toll in workplace fire incidents in Dhaka rose to eight in the last 10 days: four workers died in a fire at Tejturibazar on April 10; three workers had earlier died in a fire at a perfume factory warehouse at Chawkbazar on April 2.
