Officials from the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Project have urged the public not to be misled by misinformation or rumours surrounding a recent fire that broke out near the plant in Pabna. Earlier on Thursday, Sharful Ahsan Bhuiyan, assistant director of the Pabna Fire Service, had reported the fire. According to the project authorities, the incident occurred at 12:20pm near an artificial canal built to maintain water flow from the Padma and Ichhamati rivers, while workers were clearing dumped wooden waste. A few workers from Imamul Enterprise, who were on site, immediately informed the project’s control room. The control room quickly notified the project’s own fire unit, the Rooppur Modern Fire Station, and the Green City Fire Station, who jointly extinguished the flames.
