Fire at wholesale rice market in Kolkata

Kolkata (IANS) A fire broke out at the wholesale rice market in north Kolkata's Raja Bazar on Sunday. No casualty or injury was reported.

Smoke was seen billowing from factory premises around 2.15 p.m. Eleven fire engines fought the blaze and controlled it in an hour.

"Chemicals stored in the factory helped fan the fire. Since the area is densely populated, fire-fighters faced problems in controlling the fire," said West Bengal Fire Service Minister Sujit Bose.

The cooling operation was on, Bose said.
