A massive fire broke out in a plastic scrap godown in the Roy Colony area of Siliguri on Wednesday, triggering panic among locals. The blaze, which erupted in the storage facility, quickly spread due to the highly flammable nature of the materials inside.
According to officials, multiple fire tenders were rushed to the scene, and efforts to control the fire are currently underway. Thick plumes of smoke were seen billowing into the sky, making visibility in the area difficult. Authorities are working tirelessly to douse the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to nearby structures.
The exact cause of the fire remains unknown at this stage, and no casualties have been reported so far. However, officials have urged residents to stay away from the affected area for safety reasons.
