The fire, which started on Sunday night, continues to flare up intermittently on Tuesday at the six-storey Gazi Tyres factory building in Rupganj, Narayanganj, on Thursday.
The prolonged wait has fueled anger among the families waiting outside the factory, with various rumors and speculations spreading among them. Though the number of people reported missing is over 130, rescue teams have been unable to recover any bodies in five days.
Following instructions from a Buet expert team, the Fire Service conducted a thorough search of the Gazi Tyres factory building's ground floor and basement in Narayanganj on Thursday morning but could not find any bodies or remains.
The photos were taken by Dhaka Tribune photographer Ahadul Karim Khan.
