Two persons were injured as a lift fell to the ground at Chattagarm Maa-O-Shishu Hospital in Agarabad area of Chittagong city yesterday evening.
The incident took place around 6:45pm. The injured -- Saiful, 28, the lift operator, and Rahim, 30, a security guard of the hospital -- were undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Contacted Dr Nurul Huq, a director of the hospital, said Saiful was alone inside the lift while Rahim got injured while rescuing Saiful.
Due to a technical glitch, the lift started moving downwards from second or third floor of the four-storey building, he said, claiming that the cables of the lift did not "snap."
