A massive blaze in a Bangladesh factory killed three people and injured at least 30 with some people jumping from the upper floors to escape the fire, police said.
It was unclear how many people were trapped inside, though distraught relatives outside and other factory workers said they feared that others may have not escaped.
Fires are common in Bangladesh due to lax enforcement of safety rules. In February last year 70 people died when an inferno ripped through several Dhaka apartment blocks.
