A terrible fire broke out in the Bhagwati Biscuit factory in Malancha town of Kharagpur on Monday at seven in the morning. Part of the factory was destroyed. 2 fire engines have already reached the spot. But the fire is still not under control.

According to factory sources, around 9 o’clock in the morning, black smoke could be seen rising. At that time, new machines were being installed on the third floor of the factory. At that time the fire started due to short circuit and spread.

At Malancha, the heart of Kharagpur, this biscuit factory does the packaging of the famous company’s biscuits. As there is a petrol pump next to the factory, there is widespread panic in the area. The electricity connection of the area has already been completely disconnected by the Power department.
