A devastating fire broke out at Boalkhali Market in Dighinala upazila of Khagrachhari district early Friday, March 26, around 3 a.m., destroying at least 35 shops. According to local sources, the blaze started suddenly in one shop and quickly spread to nearby stores, causing panic among traders and residents.
Multiple fire service units responded promptly, joined by army personnel from the Dighinala zone and local residents, to bring the fire under control after several hours of effort. Despite their work, the fire completely gutted dozens of shops. Business owners reported losing all their goods, with initial estimates suggesting damages worth four to five crore taka.
Fire Service Station Officer Mukul Kumar Nath said the fire was brought under control shortly after 3:10 a.m. The exact cause remains unknown, though an electrical short circuit is suspected. Authorities are conducting an investigation to determine the source of the blaze.
