A massive fire broke out at a central Kolkata building in the early hours of Saturday (November 15, 2025). At least 20 fire engines were rushed to the spot to douse the flames; the firefighting is still underway.

According to initial reports, the fire broke out at Ezra Street at an electrical products godown from where the flames spread to multiple other shops in the area. Many locals and shop owners also rushed to the spot to help control the flames.

“I got a call early in the morning and came rushing. Everything is ruined. We could not open the shop. I am just standing here helplessly and watching our shops burn down,” a shopkeeper who was present near the fire sight told mediapersons.
