Kolkata, Dec 8 (IBNS): A major fire broke out at Fort William Jute Mill near Foreshore Road under Shibpur Police Station limits in Kolkata's twin city Howrah on Thursday morning, reports said.

According to reports, the fire was first noticed at around 9:15 a.m. inside the factory's diesel storage and it spread very quickly to the other parts of the jute mill.
