Hatibagan Market is a private market and one of the oldest in the city. While around 140 fire extinguishers have been installed in the market in order to combat fire incidents, it lacks a water connection, which is essential in such circumstances, according to a member of the market association. We have been asking the Kolkata Municipal Corporation to provide us with a proper water connection so that we will be able to cope up with a fire incident if it ever breaks out here. So we have once again requested KMC authorities to look into our demand and prepare us for emergency situations,” said Ranjan Roy, general secretary of Hatibagan Market Merchants Welfare Association..
