Firefighters have tamed a fire in a gas line after almost three hours of efforts at West Shewrapara area in Dhaka.
The Dhaka North City Corporation is currently carrying out work on the sewage system in Shewrapara's Iqbal Road where an exposed gas line suddenly caught fire around 5:00 am Friday, reports bdnews24.com.
Two units of the fire service were subsequently dispatched to the spot after the matter was reported, according to its control room officer Lima Khanam.
