The tragic aftermath of the fire at Jamia Ashrafia Madrasah in Fatullah's Signboard area, Narayanganj, continues to unfold as families keep a harrowing vigil at the National Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute in Dhaka.Fourteen-year-old Azizul Islam Siyam, one of the students affected by severe toxic smoke inhalation, is currently fighting for his life on mechanical ventilation inside the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Speaking to the press on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Siyam’s mother, Sonia Akhter, broke down in tears, recounting how she had fed her son his favorite meal at 9:00 PM the previous night, only to find him unresponsive and hooked to life-support machines by morning.According to National Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute Acting Director Prof. Dr. Md. Rabiul Karim Khan Papon, a total of 79 patients have been admitted following the disaster, with 14 already discharged and 61 under ongoing medical observation. Four students remain in critical care: Siyam (14), Khairul (22), Yusuf (17), and Jobayer Pathan (17). Medical teams—including pulmonologists and respiratory specialists—are managing severe oxygen desaturation, internal airway damage, chemical coughing, and eye burns resulting from dense smoke trapped within the multi-story building.Madrasah Education Secretary Mufti Azizur Rahman clarified that while the initial spark occurred in an area unoccupied by students, thick smoke rapidly engulfed the residential corridors before students could evacuate.
