Rumour Results in Tragedy
Roti is a worker of a big factory in Dhaka. There are more then 7000 workers in the factory. One day while he was working, a loud sound was heard. Fire! Fire! Help! Help!
As ill news runs apace, the news spread very fast among the workers. Naturally all the workers got into a panic . They started to run at a time towards the gate of the garments factory. There was only one gate to come out of the factory and only one stair to come down to the gate. So while all the workers were trying to come out of the factory using the only stair, some workers fell down. Rati was one of them. They were trodden down by other workers. At least ten workers were severely injured and two faced death. But fortunately Rati's injury was not fatal. It was irony of the fate that there was actually no fire . In fact, a naughty young worker out of jest cried out saying "fire, fire" . The other workers took it true and started to come out of the factory resulting in a tragic accident.
