DHAKA, April 24 (Xinhua) -- At least 50 people were killed and several hundreds injured after an eight-storey building on the outskirts1 of the capital Dhaka collapsed2 on Wednesday morning.
"At least 50 bodies have so far been recovered," Israfil Alam, chairman of the Parliamentary Standing3 Committee on the Ministry4 of Labor5 and Employment, told Xinhua on the spot.
Niilufar Yasmin, a fire service official, said that the building which houses a ready-made garment factory, a bank's branch and hundreds of shops, collapsed at about 9:00 a.m. local time.
With many people believed to be trapped inside, rescuers fear the death toll6 may rise significantly.
Army personnel were called in to assist the rescue operation.
