We have also provided light points in Bagri Market on the request of police and firemen. KOLKATA: Canning Street was back in business on Friday as traders around the fire-ravaged Bagri Market opened their shops after a gap of five days even in the absence of power in most stores.“This is supposed to be the busiest time of the year for us but the disaster forced us to shut our business for the last five days. CESC officials said they will continue to take stock of the situation during the weekend and hoped to start restoring supply in a couple of days. But now that the fire has been completely doused, we could not wait any more to open our shops,” said Tapan Halder, the owner of an optical store opposite Bagri Market. A section of traders even ran their shops under candle light..
