Fire dept orders TMC youth wing off Camac Street
Hindustan Times··4 Sept
West Bengal fire services told Camac Street owner Rama Devi Goenka to vacate Trinamool Youth Congress floors over fire safety gaps. The letter covered the sixth and seventh floors of the eight-storey building. Officials said the certificate renewed August 10, 2023 for three years has expired. Floors were leased in March 2020 for 10 years. Abhishek Banerjee runs that office.
