A member of the crew suffered slight injury after a fire broke out in a luxury cruise liner here Friday, a day before it was slated to embark on its maiden voyage.
Two fire tenders managed to douse the fire within a short time, fire brigade sources said.
A short circuit is suspected to have caused the fire in the ship anchored at a jetty on the Ganga in the neighbouring Howrah district.
"One member of the crew was slightly injured. Some furniture damaged. It was a minor fire," said a fire brigade official.
The cruise liner is slated to leave for Murshidabad with passengers Saturday.
