Kolkata, Mar 30 (IBNS): A minor fire reportedly broke out at the state government-run Nil Ratan Sarkar (NRS) Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata's Sealdah area on Thursday, triggering panic among the patients and their family members.

According to reports, the fire was first seen in the afternoon at the kitchen of NRS hospital's canteen.

As many as four fire tenders rushed to the spot and extinguished the minor blaze.

No casualty has been reported in the incident so far.

After primary investigation, fire officials said that the fire might have started from a LPG cylinder at the canteen.

Fire department has started investigation into the matter to know the exact reason behind the fire, reports said.

Earlier on Thursday, a major fire broke out at Golden Park hotel in south Kolkata's Ho Chi Minh Sarani area in the wee hours, which left six people injured and two declared brought dead when taken to the hospital, officials said.
