The fire was reported on the first floor of the two-storey tin-roofed market around 5:15pm, he said. Fire service Director General Sazzad Hussain told the media at the site that the fire completely destroyed some 15 shops of undergarments. After the Rajdhani Super Market was established in 1995, the New Rajdhani Super Market was set up on a land next to the old market. Abu Taher, the owner of Al Maher Jewellers, said his shop was among 43 jewellery shops on the ground floor. He believes the fire originated in the centre of the market where shops of readymade garments, tailors, foam mattress, toys, food and cosmetics are housed.
