Major fire breaks out at jute mill in Kolkata, no casualty
A major fire broke out in a jute mill near Kadapara on the EM Bypass (Salt Lake area) on Tuesday, official sources said.
'Around 10 fire tenders were pressed into service to combat the leaping flames,' firefighting personnel said.
There had been no casualty in the blaze so far as the firefighting personnel were trying to control the flames.
Sources told UNI the smoke was first noticed around 8 am in the Kolkata Jute Mill, and immediately the flames began to leap, covering the air with black smoke, which prevented the fire brigade men from finding the source of the fire.
