A fire broke out on the tourist houseboat 'Machhranga' in Tahirpur, Sunamganj, on Wednesday morning around 11 a.m. The incident occurred near the Rakti River by the Anwarpur Bridge. No tourists were on board at the time, and no casualties were reported. The fire is believed to have started from an electrical short circuit at the rear of the vessel.
According to the president of the Tanguar Haor Tourist Boat Association, repair work was underway on the 'Machhranga' and another houseboat when the fire began. Only mechanics and workers were present. Local residents and nearby shopkeepers quickly joined efforts to control the blaze, but much of the boat’s interior equipment was destroyed before the fire was extinguished.
The owner of the 'Machhranga' houseboat, Mohammad Zaman from Dhaka, said the fire started while workers were using a generator for repairs, damaging a refrigerator and other materials. Police have visited the site to investigate the incident.
