Gurugram Police Crack Down on Illegal Firecrackers and Probe Home Guard Gift Incident
Gurugram authorities have intensified efforts ahead of Diwali, registering over 100 FIRs in 24 hours against illegal firecracker sales to reduce air pollution. Police seized various banned crackers and arrested several accused. Separately, Gurugram Police initiated disciplinary action against a home guard after a viral video showed him allegedly soliciting a Diwali gift from a content creator at a checkpoint, prompting public concern. Both actions reflect the administration's focus on law enforcement during the festive season.
