A four-member inquiry committee inspected the site of a fire at a madrasa in Narayanganj’s Fatullah on Wednesday morning, November 11, reviewing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and interviewing administrators and nearby residents.

Additional Deputy Commissioner Alinur Khan, who convenes the panel, said members arrived around 11 a.m. to examine possible causes and are also consulting Fire Service responders. Preliminary findings suggest firefighting efforts took longer because the madrasa lacked adequate fire-suppression equipment and extinguishers.

Khan said general directives will be issued to ensure firefighting equipment across educational institutions in the district, alongside regular safety inspections and drills conducted with Fire Service support. Also present on the inspection team were Additional Superintendent of Police Md Shamim Hossain, Assistant Commissioner Asmaul Husna Pinky representing the Narayanganj Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer, and Kanchpur Modern Fire Service Station in-charge Jahangir Alam.
