He told that about 45 days ago also there was a gas leak, in which 15 girls had fainted. He was then brought to his clinic. There he was treated. But this time the incident was bigger.

Suspects seen around the factory
No record of workers has been found in the factory after the incident. From this it is being guessed that outsiders are doing more work here. The investigating officers are also linking the connections of these laborers with Rohingya and Bangladeshis. But, this situation will be clear only after investigation.
After the incident, some suspicious people were also seen around the factory. They looked like factory workers. But, when asked to speak to him, he started giving the opposite answer.

Many suspects were seen around the factory. On asking the name and address, he was also getting ready to dispute.
Basic school is 50 meters away from the factory
A school of Basic Education Department is operating at a distance of about 50 meters from Aldua factory. Meat factories are running on both sides of this school. Some people, on the condition of anonymity, said that after the incident, the children were removed from there.
But, the big question is if there are factories from either side and there are many factories running around. If the situation of the gas leak was not handled, then the life of the innocent students studying in the school could also be in danger.
A few steps away from the Meat Factory is the Pre-Secondary School of the Basic Education Department.
