    Fire tragedies have become pretty common in Kolkata

    Fire tragedies in West Bengal's capital have become a little too common these days. Last month, a major fire broke out at Medical College and Hospital.

    Photos from the college showed patients being taken out of the building with their saline drops. Some were lying on the floor.

    The establishment is one of the oldest in the city.
