DHAKA, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- With national flag down at half-mast, Bangladesh is mourning on Monday the victims of the recent deadly old Dhaka fire.
Bangladesh's Cabinet Division issued a gazette on Sunday in this regard.
Special prayers were held in Dhaka and elsewhere in the country for the victims.
The blaze that burned through a number of buildings on Wednesday and Thursday has claimed lives of 81 people.
The latest tragedy has been the second deadly fire to strike the capital after another blaze in old Dhaka that ripped about six buildings, killing at least 124 people in June 2010.
