The district's chief administrator Mostain Billah told Xinhua on Friday night that "49 people were reported missing."

But he said they don't know immediately whether the 49 charred bodies, beyond recognition already recovered from the fire site, are of the missing persons.

He said that a total of 20 people were admitted to the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery following the fire devastation.

But local media reports put the number of injured people at 50.
