Another worker, injured in last month's boiler blast at a Dinajpur rice mill, has died, raising the death toll in the incident to 18.
Mill worker Sumon died at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital's burn unit on Monday after battling for his life for 20 days, doctors said.
Sumon hailed from Dinajpur Sadar Upazila's Sheikh Hati area.
The boiler of Jamuna Auto Rice Mill exploded on April 19, injuring 28 people. Until Monday, 18 of those injured had succumbed to their injuries.
Three other injured workers are still fighting for their lives.
Although a case was filed over the incident against three people, including the mill owner, police have so far failed to arrest anyone.
Families of 17 deceased and four injured workers received Tk50,000 each from Bangladesh Sramik Kalyan Foundation on Sunday.
