Fire Erupts in Multi-Storey Lions Range Building Near Kolkata's Writers' Buildings
A fire broke out late Sunday night in the nearly 100-year-old multi-storey Lions Range building behind Kolkata's historic Writers' Buildings, prompting deployment of at least 10 fire engines. Firefighters have been working to control the blaze, which caused panic due to the building's proximity to government offices. The cause remains under investigation. BJP councillor Santosh Pathak noted the absence of firefighting systems and suggested the fire may be linked to computer equipment. The blaze is under control but not yet fully extinguished.
