A fire broke out at Kolkata's tallest building 'The 42'. The 60-storey under-construction building is located on the Chowringhee road in South Kolkata. No casualties have been reported yet.
According to a Hindustan Times report, three fire engines were dispatched to douse the flames. The flames have spread to the 8th and 9th floor of the building.
The building is a 879-feet structure accommodating 63 floors and has been under construction since 2008.
Fires have become a common occurence in the city, recently Park Street's Apeejay House caught on fire, though there were no casualties.
Kolkata mayor and fire services minister Sovan Chatterjee was quoted saying that mostly the sparks from welding prompted the fire.
