Two workshop workers were killed when a tin-roof structure collapsed at a warehouse in Sonai Chhari Union’s Bara Auliya Baktarpara area of Sitakunda upazila, Chattogram, on Wednesday afternoon. The victims were identified as Md Faruk, 30, from Noakhali, and Md Zahir, 35, from Cumilla. The incident occurred at a facility named All Trade International, located near the coastal area. Families of the deceased have filed two separate cases against the factory owner and management authorities.
According to local sources, several workers were cutting a tin-roof sheet with a welding machine when the structure suddenly gave way, trapping Faruk and Zahir underneath. They were rescued with the help of a crane but were declared dead at Chattogram Medical College Hospital. Locals alleged that the workers were made to work in unsafe conditions without proper safety measures. The former chairman of Sonai Chhari Union Parishad said the factory processed dust from rolling mills for export, but its legal approval status needs verification.
Police have visited the site and confirmed that investigations are underway to determine negligence and the factory’s authorization status. No arrests have been made so far.
