BM depot explosion: Families give DNA sample

The family members of those who went missing after the deadly explosion at BM container depot have given their DNA samples in hope to get the remains of their near ones.

From Monday morning to noon DNA samples of 12 people were collected for eight missing people at the booth set up for DNA sample collection by Chattogram district police, in front of the emergency unit of CMCH next to the ‘help cell’ of the district administration.

While visiting the spot, our correspondent said many were seen still continuing the search in front of CMCH sticking a photograph of their missing relative on their chests.

Meanwhile, firefighters continued their operation on Monday to douse the deadly blaze at BM Container Depot, that so far claimed 50 lives and left several hundred wounded.
