"At least 16 hotels in central Kolkata have been shut down for violating fire safety norms. More than 50 hotels across Kolkata been served show-cause notices since Thursday," said a senior officer of the state fire department. The hotels were located on Mirza Ghalib Street, Marquis Street and SN Banerjee Road in central Kolkata.

At least 80 were rescued. "Inspection is going on. This will continue. It is not that after closing down 100 hotels we will stop. We will not allow such tinderboxes to operate...How did they get a trade license and fire license? If they don't follow rules, they will be shut down," Agnimitra Paul, state urban development minister, told the media....
