Brick Kiln Wall Collapse Kills Two Workers in Kishoreganj
Thebangladaily.com – Two workers killed in brick kiln wall collapse were among four labourers struck by falling debris at a brick kiln in Hossainpur upazila of Kishoreganj on Friday. The accident also left two other workers injured.
The collapse occurred at around 12:00 PM at Sajal’s brick kiln in the Dakshin Char Pumdi area of Pumdi Union. A wall and stacks of bricks positioned on it suddenly gave way while workers were carrying out their duties at the site.
Two Local Residents Die at the Scene
The deceased were identified as Md Utpal, son of Mohammad Ali, and Golap Mia, son of Safir Uddin. Both were residents of Dakshin Char Pumdi village, close to the kiln where the fatal accident occurred.
After the wall and bricks collapsed, residents from nearby areas rushed to the scene and joined rescue efforts. Utpal and Golap Mia were recovered dead from the site, while the two injured workers were taken to Hossainpur Upazila Health Complex for treatment.
Authorities did not disclose the identities or medical conditions of the injured workers. They remained under treatment following the accident.
Police Investigate Brick Kiln Collapse
Hossainpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mohammad Rashedul Islam said police officers visited the brick kiln after receiving information about the incident. An inquiry has been started to determine the circumstances that caused the wall and brick stacks to fall.
Police said legal action would be taken after the investigation.
The bodies of the two workers killed in brick kiln debris collapse were recovered and sent to the morgue at Kishoreganj Shaheed Syed Nazrul Islam Medical College Hospital for post-mortem examinations.
Investigators are expected to examine the condition of the collapsed wall, the placement of the bricks and the events leading up to the accident. Their findings will help determine whether further legal steps are required.
Accident Shocks Dakshin Char Pumdi Community
The midday incident brought immediate concern to the surrounding community, as local residents moved quickly to assist workers caught beneath the debris. Collapses involving walls and large brick stacks can create severe risks because of the weight of the materials and the difficulty of rescue work.
The deaths of Utpal and Golap Mia have deeply affected their village. Both men lived in Dakshin Char Pumdi, making the tragedy a painful loss for families and neighbours in the area.
Brick kiln sites require workers to operate around heavy materials, stacked bricks and built structures. In this case, the sudden collapse trapped four people before help could arrive. The police investigation is expected to clarify how the structure failed and whether conditions at the site contributed to the deadly incident.
As authorities continue their inquiry, attention remains on the families of the victims, the treatment of the injured workers and the need to establish the cause of the fatal collapse at the Dakshin Char Pumdi kiln.
