A fire broke out in MNS Sweater and Printing Factory in the capital's Adabor area yesterday.
Abdul Alim, senior station officer of Mohammadpur Fire Station, said the fire, might have originated from an electric short circuit in the store room of the tin-shed factory around 6:15pm, burning a good amount of valuables.
Fire fighters doused the flame around 8:00pm.
However, no causality was reported as most of the employees were not available in the factory at that time due to prayer break, he said.
