Chattogram, March 08 --At least 11 people including women and children sustained burn injuries after a fire broke out at a residential building apparently due to gas leakage in Chattogram's Chandgaon area in the small hours on Friday.
The identities of the injured could not be known immediately.
The injured were admitted to the Burn and Plastic Surgery Unit of Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH), said Jahidul Kabir, officer-in-charge (OC) of Chandgaon Police Station.
The fire broke out on the 3rd floor of a multi-storey building of Osman Gani in Shankar Dewanji Haat under the Chandgaon Police Station around 12:30am.
Three families reside in four units on the third floor of the building. The fire originated on the floor due to a leak in the gas line, he added.
