Kolkata, Apr 3 (IBNS): An employee of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) died while dousing a massive blaze that broke out in front of TCS's Gitanjali Park building in Kolkata's New Town area in the wee hours of Monday, reports said.

According to reports, a major fire broke out at a temporary food stall in front of TCS Gitanjali Park office at New Town at around 2 am. and it spread quickly to other stalls nearby.

Before the fire brigade reached the scene, few security guards of TCS tried to douse the blaze.

Security-in-charge of the company, Jayanta Mondal, was killed when a gas cylinder exploded inside the food stall on fire.

Later, as many as three fire tender engines rushed to the spot and brought the blaze under control.

At least 13 temporary stalls outside TCS office were gutted completely due to the fire.
