By a staff reporter,
Shyambazar, 8th August: Tuesday the crowd area Shyambazar located in Kolkata burst into Fire. Yesterday, around 12p.m, the busiest schedule of North Kolkata showed a huge fire burnt incident. The whole market was in smoky atmosphere. The fire brigade came in time so the situation can be managed as they can. But a whole garments market faced a lot of loss, two shopping malls were fully destroyed. Though it is a busy road, two public buses affected very badly, small cars, bikes and a school bus got affected. Mostly 350 people were injured, 120 people including some children, shopping mall’s staffs and hawkers and so on died.
Police came to this spot and suspected that it can be happened for shortage of electricity. The well-known mall “SHOP MART” facing power cut problem for many time. They called the electricians before but they didn’t respond in any call. We knew that the shopping opened around 10:10 am and they didn’t feel any problems. So the staffs started their work as any other day, around 11:45am the upper tower of this mall burnt. Few members noticed it but they take it in easy way so ignored it. Around 11:55 it spreads like in a dangerous way. Whole the area faced shortage of electricity, the fire started blow in a dangerous flame and spread around all. Before knowing them, they lost their life. The whole market stayed in a burning situation. Then anyone from them contact with fire brigade. Finally they came in a short duration of time, but the burnt incident kept rest of people in a traumatized situation. A ten years old girl saw her father in a pathetic way and her father is now hospitalized.
The rescued team also presents there and does their responsibility. The councilor of this area expressed her sorrowness in tears. She said, “She never think that her area can be effected in this way. Her beloved brothers, sisters, girls and boys like his son and daughter spent very hard days. But she always stay besides them.” All other area’s councilors always came here to help Mrs. Chakraborty and the people. They assured that they always stay besides with them. The staff’s family get facilities from there elective area’s chairman’s. The shopping mall will be sealed by the team tomorrow and it can be opened after police and higher court permission.
The local hawkers break into tears. They said, “No one stay beside with the poor people. It is the high time of sell and now we face a huge a loss. All the visitors started their shopping for the biggest festival and it’s the time of selling after the long time. God please help us and rescued us from this situation.” Shyama, a lady Hawker said, “Our small kids are waiting for their new dresses, toys. But we are the unfortunate can’t fulfilled their dreams. And tears coming out from her eyes.” Really it’s too much pathetic and the situation they felt can’t be elaborated.”
The police tried to find out the reason. The whole building was destroyed. There back portion of the house claimed that the whole matter is caused for the irresponsibility of the shop’s ownership. Also we can’t connect with the ownership of the mall.
The electricity office came, when the horrible situation occurred and didn’t agree that they are also responsible for this matter. Police instruct them to check all area’s electricity connection, specially the malls connection. As the instruction they started their work and find some problems about electricity. It is requested to all please check all your electricity line twice a year by a electrician to avoid this type of electrical problems.
