Runa works in a big garment factory. There are more than six hundred workers in the factory. One day, as usual, she was busy with her work. Suddenly, she heard that there was an outbreak of fire from the short circuit. As ill news runs fast, the news spreads very fast among the workers.
But no one noticed whether there was actually any fire or not. Having just heard the news, without any confirmation, all the workers of the factory became desperate to come out side. But the factory had only one exit. And the path which led to this gate was very narrow. Even three men or women could not pass through this path side by side at a time. So, when all the workers of the factory were trying to come out along this narrow path, the path became congested with the workers.
Many workers fell down on the path because of the jostling in the crowd and were trampled by the other workers. Some of them received severe injuries. In a word, a chaotic situation had been prevailing in the factory. After observing the situation, the authority of the factory took steps to pacify the workers.
The authority announced through loud speaker that the new was a rumor and no fire had broken out. Actually, a pipe containing color had burst out in the dying section but it caused no causalities. After hearing this announcement twice, the workers understood their follies and went back to their work.
