    Kolkata, Feb 11 (PTI) A major fire broke out at a
plastic chair manufacturing unit at Ghola in North 24-Parganas
district on Monday, a fire brigade official said.
    The fire, which broke out at noon, is still raging
with clouds of black smoke spreading to a neighbouring
residential area and triggering panic among the people.
    There is no news of any person being trapped or
injured in the incident, even as firemen are searching if
there is anybody inside the unit.
    Fire Brigade sources said that 25 fire tenders were
pressed into service to douse the flames at the manufacturing
unit.
Fire Services Minister, Sujit Bose and Director
General Fire Services, Jagmohan are superivising the
operations at the spot.
    Since a huge quantity of plastic and other inflammable
articles are stored in the premises, the firemen are having
a tough time to control the flame, the police said. PTI AKB
