Investigation will reveal whether the Chattogram container depot fire was an accident or sabotage, said Information Minister Hasan Mahmud on Sunday, reports UNB.
Investigations are on to detect the real reason behind the devastating fire at BM container depot in Sitakund, he said.

Meanwhile, BSS adds: Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Sunday said BNP is holding dialogues with some obscure parties and their allies.
"I saw in newspapers that BNP is holding dialogues with the parties of its own so-called alliance though some parties have left the coalition which means they are holding discussions with themselves. The party is also holding talks with some unregistered political parties. This unregistered political parties are being called alien parties," he added.
The dialogue is ridiculous and it reveals their political bankruptcy, Hasan told reporters after exchanging views with the newly elected executive members of Crime Reporters Association of Bangladesh (CRAB).
Replying to a query over the Sitakunda tragedy, he said the Prime Minister is looking into the matter herself and gave necessary instructions to all concerned.
"Our party leaders and activists were given directives to donate blood and extend other necessary help to the victims. All leaders and activists of Awami League, Jubo League, Chhatra League, Swechchhasebak League and other associate bodies are participating in the rescue operation," he added.
He said investigation will be carried out to find out whether the incident is an accident or sabotage. It is necessary to find out the real issue of the tragedy, said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.
Earlier, the minister extended his thanks to the newly elected CRAB executive members.
Hasan said the crime reporters often face big risks to write their reports on crimes.
