The massive fire, which broke out at Dhaka's Mohammadpur Krishi Market early this morning, is now under control.

Seventeen firefighting units are working to fully douse the blaze. It was brought under control around 9:25 am.
Smoke is still billowing from the site, making it difficult for the firemen to work.
