West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Friday said the devastating fire at a momo manufacturing unit and two godowns at Anandapur on the outskirts of Kolkata pointed to a failure on the part of the authorities.
“I am here on a fact-finding exercise, not on a fault-finding exercise,” the governor said after visiting the spot. “I do not want to blame anybody, but the fact remains that there has been failure on the part of authorities concerned, else this kind of repeated incident would not have taken place,” the governor said.
The devastating fire reduced to ashes two godowns and a manufacturing unit of a momo company at Anandapur in South 24 Parganas district, close to the city. So far, the toll in the fire has reached to 21, while 28 people are still missing, according to the police. Police on Friday arrested two more persons in connection with the fire incident, a senior police officer said.
“Two senior officials of the momo manufacturing unit have been arrested. They are the company’s manager, Manoranjan Sheet, and deputy manager, Raja Chakraborty. Both were picked up by Narendrapur police,” the officer added.
