Another victim of a gas cylinder blast in Gazipur succumbed to death at 6:50pm today (17 March), taking the death toll from the incident to six so far, said Dr Torikul Islam, resident surgeon of the Sheikh Hasina burn institute. 

The gas cylinder blast outside a house at Telir Chala area of Mouchak in Kaliakair last Wednesday severely injured at least 35 people. Currently, 23 victims, including ten with 60-95% burn injuries, are under treatment at the burn institute.

"All victims with 80% burn injuries are also in critical condition," the minister told reporters after placing a wreath on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's mural at Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn Institute and Plastic Surgery on the occasion of his 104th birth anniversary.

Dr Sen said, "We are providing the maximum medical care [to the victims]. But we are not considering anyone out of danger yet. We give equal importance to all the services required by the admitted people.

"There is no malpractice in the treatment of a single patient. We will continue to strive to heal burn patients with our highest medical care till the end." 

Solayman Molla, 45, became the first victim of the gas cylinder blast to succumb to his injuries on Friday. On Saturday, two more victims – Mansur Ali Akond, 45, and Tayeba, 3, who suffered 90% burns – passed away.
