Kolkata Fire Department Orders Partial Evacuation of Building Housing Abhishek Banerjee's Office
Authorities in Kolkata have ordered the evacuation of the basement and two floors of a building housing Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee's office after a fire safety inspection found multiple violations, including an expired fire safety certificate, inadequate firefighting measures, and unauthorized structures. The fire department issued a show-cause notice and prohibited use of the affected areas until compliance is ensured. The building was also the site of recent clashes and an attack on Banerjee's office, with political tensions noted but no official comments from TMC leaders.
