West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Friday said the devastating fire at a momo manufacturing unit and two godowns at Anandapur on the outskirts of Kolkata pointed to a failure on the part of the authorities.

“I am here on a fact-finding exercise, not on a fault-finding exercise,” the governor said after visiting the spot. “I do not want to blame anybody, but the fact remains that there has been failure on the part of authorities concerned, else this kind of repeated incident would not have taken place,” the governor said.
