At least fifteen people, including several children, were burned in a devastating fire caused by a gas cylinder leak in Tukchanpur Charpara, under Aganagar Union of Bhairab upazila in Kishoreganj. The incident occurred on Thursday evening, December 4, when a shopkeeper accidentally left the gas regulator open before locking his shop. Gas accumulated inside the closed shop, leading to a sudden explosion and fire that spread quickly. Locals rescued the injured and took them to Bhairab Upazila Health Complex, from where twelve critically burned victims were transferred to the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka. Three others received primary treatment and were released. Witnesses reported that several schoolchildren and pedestrians standing nearby were also caught in the flames. One victim, Harun Mia, sustained burns over 80 percent of his body and remains in critical condition. Authorities confirmed that most victims suffered burns ranging from 20 to 30 percent.
