Punjab Authorities Raid and Seal Unauthorized Firecracker Storage Facilities
Authorities in Punjab conducted raids on illegal and irregular firecracker storage facilities to ensure public safety. In Jalandhar, police seized firecrackers stored without authorization in a residential area, initiating legal action. In Khanna, a warehouse was sealed after its owner was found to have obtained a storage licence without the mandatory police no objection certificate. Officials are investigating how the licence was granted despite this omission, with cases registered against the owners in both locations.
