A fire broke out at a Kolkata-based confectionery firm's plant in the Anandpur area on Monday evening, officials reported. Fire tenders took over an hour to extinguish the flames.

The blaze erupted at around 8:15 pm, but quick actions ensured all employees were promptly evacuated from the facility. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
