Fragmented accountability: On the Taratala warehouse collapse in Kolkata
On June 24, a warehouse in Kolkata's Taratala area collapsed, killing 11 people and critically injuring several others. The incident highlights systemic corruption in West Bengal's construction industry, where local cartels and political influences allegedly force developers to use substandard materials. Authorities are under pressure to address these issues, and further investigations into the collapse and potential legal actions are expected to follow.
