They are just standing there. All systems have failed. There is no water and they have no ladder.Meanwhile, West Bengal Fire Services Minister Pratim Chatterjee said the buildings were illegal.The building did not have the permission. no one have idea who gave permission to the building. The situation is very bad and we have asked everyone to evacuate.
