The Chattogram Custom House auctioned off 30,000 tonnes of Hydrogen Peroxide today (June 6, 2022) in an open tender, which was lying at Chittagong Port for four years.
According to fire service official Jalal Ahmed, the fire broke out at a container storage facility in Sitakunda, around 40 km from the Chittagong port.
Saturday's fire reportedly caused a massive blast which led to several subsequent container blasts that firefighters were still trying to douse well into Sunday. The cause of the fire is, as yet, unknown.
