Kolkata: Fire breaks out at multi-storied building

| @indiablooms | 11 Nov 2023, 04:16 pm

A fire broke out at a multi-storied building, housing the residential flats as well as markets on the ground floor, in the thickly populated Chandni Chowk market in the central part of the city, police and fire brigade officials said on Saturday.

There have been no reports of any casualties so far as the policemen were seen making requests to the residents and others to come out of the building.

The fire was noticed around 1000 hours in an electronic shop. With thick smoke engulfed, the efforts of the firefighting personnel to douse the fire hampered.

Personnel from the emergency combat force, police and the fire brigade were conducting joint operation to control the fire and rescue the stranded people in the building, sources said.

Two firefighting vehicles were deployed in the operation and some other vehicles were kept on standby.
