In a second incident, 31 shops at Miarhat Bazar in Nesarabad upazila were completely burned down around 6 am.
The fire at Miarhat Bazar reportedly started due to an electrical short circuit at one shop, which quickly spread to other establishments.

An official from the fire station stated that the cause of the fire and the total damage will be determined after further investigation.
