With the recovery of more bodies, the death toll in a fire tragedy at a food and cigarette packaging factory in Bangladesh on Monday climbed to 33, while authorities called in the army to join the combing operation at the still- smouldering accident site.
Four more bodies were pulled out of the rubble of the four-storey Tampaco Foils ltd factory in Tongi, just north of capital Dhaka, Gazipur district authorities said.
Fire at the factory was still not doused completely more than 48 hours after the tragedy struck ahead of Eid festival.
There were about 100 people inside the factory when the explosion occurred on Saturday, and most of them were to leave for a week-long holiday for the festival.
Twenty two teams of firefighters and army were engaged in search and rescue operations.
