Kolkata, Sept 6 (PTI) A fire broke out at a warehouse in the Chitpur area of north Kolkata on Sunday, an official said.

The blaze was reported around 11.40 am at the godown in the congested Nababpatty area, he said.

Ten fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the flames, which were brought under control around 1.30 pm, he added.

Chemicals were stored on the ground floor of the warehouse, while clothing materials were kept on the first floor, a Fire Brigade official said.

Disaster Management Group personnel were also deployed and used gas cutters to open the locked doors of the warehouse to check whether anyone was trapped inside.

No one was injured in the incident, the official said.

A vehicle parked beside the godown was also partially gutted in the fire, he said. PTI AMR SOM

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

Nine years on, that belief has held.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
