The complex hosts some 3,000 shops in the Bangabazar area, home to the country's famed cloth markets. The blaze broke out in the early hours before businesses had opened and spread to neighboring outlets, officials said. Images from the scene show black smoke billowing from the burning complex, with bystanders, including children, forming a human chain to pass plastic containers of water to help the firefighters.

He said his department had declared the market and surrounding buildings as "risky" in 2019, but that "businesses didn’t pay heed to the warnings."
