A massive fire broke out at a plastic warehouse in Kolkata, triggering panic and chaos in the surrounding area. The blaze, which erupted late at night, quickly spread due to the presence of large quantities of plastic raw material stored inside the godown. Thick smoke and towering flames could be seen from a distance, visuals of which are now emerging on screens. Fire brigade teams rushed to the spot soon after the incident was reported and are currently engaged in efforts to bring the fire under control. Multiple fire tenders have been deployed, and firefighting operations are ongoing. The intensity of the fire made the operation challenging, as plastic materials tend to catch fire rapidly and release dense smoke. So far, there have been no immediate reports of casualties, though officials are assessing the situation. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. Authorities have cordoned off the area as a precautionary measure while firefighting and cooling operations continue.
