A boiler explosion at a Bangladeshi garment factory killed 10 people and injured dozens, fire officials said on Tuesday, the latest accident to hit one of the world’s biggest garment producers.
The incident late on Monday happened during maintenance work at the factory owned by Multifabs Limited. “Nine people were killed in the blast and one died in hospital,” fire service official Palash Chandra Modak said. Multifabs said the six-year-old boiler, procured from Germany, had just been serviced.
“This was an accident. Everything was fine,” said Mahiuddin Faruqui, the company’s chairman and managing director adding, “The boiler was running well. After servicing when workers were trying to restart it, it went off.”
