Councillor Sajal Ghosh confronted police officers at the site of the Rituraj Hotel fire, where 15 people lost their lives. He argued with the authorities after being stopped from entering the premises, highlighting the opposition’s frustration with the handling of the tragedy and demanding greater transparency on the ground.
BJP leader Tapas Roy launched a strong attack on the state government over the multiple deaths in the fire. He criticised the administration for its negligence and also took a jibe at the government’s focus on temple construction in Digha, suggesting misplaced priorities in the face of urban safety failures.
