A massive fire broke out in a plastic manufacturing factory in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district, a fire official said.
The blaze erupted in the unit in Mallikpur area on Saturday and 15 fire engines are continuing efforts to douse it, District Fire Officer T K Dutta said.
No casualties have been reported so far and no workers were present in the factory at the time of the incident.
