DHAKA, Feb. 26 (Reuters) - A fire broke out on Monday in a multi-storied building in the Bangladesh capital housing two private television channels and a newspaper office, witnesses said. They said fire fighters and airforce helicopters were trying to put out the blaze and rescue an unspecified number of people stranded inside. The cause of the fire and extent of damage caused was not immediately known. The building, in the Kawranbazar business district of Dhaka, houses NTV and Rtv stations and the Amar Desh newspaper -- all owned by a former member of parliament.
