A delegation from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) visited the Anandapur warehouse fire site to assess the situation. The team, including former MP Adhir Chowdhury, arrived in West Bengal on Monday and met with the District Magistrate of South 24 Parganas. They later examined the incident site, gathering crucial evidence.
The delegation is expected to meet with the Superintendent of Police of the Baruipur Police District. Meanwhile, Adhir Chowdhury criticized the state government for the tragic incident that claimed 27 lives. Despite being denied access to the fire site, he expressed concerns over the lack of fire safety measures and questioned the ownership and workforce details of the factory.
Chowdhury condemned Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for not visiting the site, accusing her of insensitivity. He highlighted the need for accountability and alleged rule violations by Trinamool Congress leaders. The fire, which occurred at the Pushpanjali decorator’s warehouse and Wow Momo factory, resulted in a prolonged firefighting effort and tragic loss of lives.
