A fire that broke out at the capital's Banani TNT slum early Saturday was extinguished after frantic efforts of about three and a half hours.
Rasel Shikder, duty officer of Fire Service and Civil Defense headquarters, said that the fire broke out at 3:28am.
Twenty-two firefighting units rushed to the spot and extinguished the fire around 7am.
A five-member committee has been formed to investigate the reason behind fire and estimate the damage, he said.
