Kolkata, Jan 12 (Inditop.com) A major fire broke out in a northeast Kolkata slum Tuesday, police said.
All the shanties and huts in the slum were on fire, with the leaping flames reaching up to about 15 feet from the ground.
A television channel said the sound of gas cylinders exploding could be heard from the area, close to the Bidhannagar station.
Three fire tenders have reached the spot after much delay, as the approachway was blocked by auto-rickshaw drivers, who have been agitating against insufficient LPG centres in the city.
There are no reports of any casualty.
