The Kolkata warehouse collapse in Taratala has turned into a major political controversy. With the death toll rising to 11, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has alleged that the structure received approval despite serious design flaws and named officials linked to the sanction process. Five people have been arrested, while investigations continue into alleged construction violations and regulatory lapses. The tragedy has reignited concerns over building safety, accountability and oversight in West Bengal as rescue teams continue operations.
