2006 Kolkata leather factory fire : ウィキペディア英語版 | 2006 Kolkata leather factory fire
The 2006 Kolkata leather factory fire was a deadly industrial fire that occurred in West Bengal, India, on 22 November 2006. The fire broke out in a leather bag factory located in the Tannix International, Topsia, in the South 24 Parganas district in Greater Kolkata area, and generated a wave of criticism of the poor safety standards in place among the country's sweatshops. The industrial fire claimed the lives of at least ten people, who were unable to escape because the doors were locked shut illegally. Authorities, in response to local residents' angry criticism, admitted that the emergency response to the accident was substandard. Two separate investigations were launched. One inquiry focused on the fire itself, while the other sought to ascertain criminal responsibility for the disaster as well as the operation of the illegal factory.〔 The results of both are either pending or have yet to be released to the general public. ==Background== Investigators confirmed that the site of the fire had been used as an illegal factory to manufacture leather bags. The factory was located on the third floor of a four-story building, which also featured residential units. Investigators determined that the first and second floors of the structure housed additional illegal factories.〔 The factory destroyed in the fire was found to be owned and operated by Tenex Exports,〔 and all of the people who were killed or injured in the fire slept in the factory at night, a situation that is not considered unusual in India. There was had just one emergency exit, and 40 workers were housed in the structure at the time of the fire,〔 and the owner had locked the factory at night to prevent workers from running away with leather goods.〔 The building was located in the Tannix International, Topsia, in the South 24 Parganas district of Greater Kolkata region.〔〔
