The blast occurred inside a seven-story building, causing heavy damage to two floors, the official added.
"There were several shops selling sanitary ware and household goods. A bus standing on the opposite side of the building was also damaged in the blast," fire service official Dinomoni Sharma said. The cause of the blast was unclear, Sharma said, adding that the death toll could rise as rescue operations were ongoing.
Images from the scene showed extensive damage to the building and nearby structures, with items that were once inside the shops piled up on the street. Some pedestrians were hurt be falling rubble and broken glass. Kamal Ahmed, who was among those injured in the explosion, told local media he was shopping on the sidewalk when he heard a loud bang.
