Breaking News: Massive Fire Ravages Kolkata’s Khidirpur Dog Market, Multiple Shops Reduced to Ashes

A massive fire broke out late at night in Kolkata’s Khidirpur Dog Market, causing widespread destruction. Early this morning, flames were still visible rising from the affected shops. Several shops have been completely burnt down to ashes. Firefighters rushed to the scene with 20 fire engines to control the blaze. Local residents have accused the fire services of delayed arrival, citing difficulties due to the market’s location in a densely populated area with narrow lanes. The tightly packed shops, many adjoining each other, allowed the fire to spread rapidly, engulfing multiple stores. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown, but the extensive damage highlights the challenges of emergency response in congested urban markets. Authorities continue to work to bring the situation under control while assessing the loss faced by shopkeepers.
