A significant fire engulfed several paint factories in Barasat, located in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district on Saturday evening. The incident prompted a response involving 20 fire tenders attempting to subdue the raging flames.
The blaze originated in the paint-manufacturing units situated in the Bamunmora area, under the jurisdiction of Kadambagachi panchayat. Fortunately, reports indicate no injuries have occurred thus far. The fire, which broke out around 7:30 PM, spread rapidly due to the likely presence of highly inflammable substances.
While the cause of the fire is yet to be determined, emergency personnel, including firefighters and police, remain on-site. The area has been evacuated as a precaution. Barasat MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar is also present to assess the situation.
