Kolkata Hotel Fire Kills 14 | Expired NOC, Illegal Bar, Only One Exit – Who’s Responsible? | News9

A horrifying fire at Kolkata’s Rituraj Hotel near Sealdah has claimed 14 lives, including two children, and left 13 injured. Most victims suffocated in the smoke-filled, window-sealed building—some even jumped from windows in desperation. Firefighters battled the blaze for nearly 10 hours, only to discover the hotel lacked basic safety measures: no alarms, no sprinklers, and just one blocked exit. Shockingly, its fire safety certificate expired in 2022, yet it kept operating—while an illegal dance bar was under construction on the top floor. PM Modi and CM Mamata Banerjee have offered compensation and called for inquiries, but serious questions remain: who allowed this death trap to function? Will officials in the fire and civic departments be held accountable—or will it be business as usual until the next tragedy?
