Action Taken Against Unlicensed Firecracker Sales in Delhi | Babarpur Shop Sealed, SDM Issues Stern Warning

 

Authorities in Delhi have intensified their crackdown on illegal firecracker sales ahead of the Diwali festival. In a recent operation, a shop in Babarpur was sealed after officials discovered it was selling firecrackers without the necessary license. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) personally led the inspection and directed immediate action against the violators. This move comes as part of the city’s ongoing efforts to reduce pollution and ensure the safety of residents during the festive season.

According to RD News Network, local enforcement teams have been instructed to conduct regular raids in areas known for firecracker sales. Officials stated that selling or storing firecrackers without a valid license is a punishable offense under the Explosives Act. The SDM warned that any individual or trader found violating the rules will face strict penalties, including legal action and the permanent sealing of their shops. RD News Network also reported that authorities are working closely with police departments and pollution control boards to ensure complete compliance with the Supreme Court’s directives on firecracker use.

Residents have been urged to buy only certified “green” firecrackers from authorized dealers to prevent accidents and reduce air pollution. The Delhi government has reiterated its commitment to creating a safer and cleaner Diwali for all citizens. With increased vigilance and public cooperation, officials aim to discourage illegal activities and promote environmental awareness during the festival of lights.
