There was no fire NOC
Investigation revealed that an illegal factory for making firecrackers was running on the ground floor. Whereas people were living on the upper floors. It is suspected that the firecracker caught fire after coming in contact with a spark. Initial investigation revealed that the factory was running without NOC from the fire department. No fire prevention measures were taken in the factory. The factory owner is absconding since the incident. Police are raiding possible hideouts in search of him.
Ban on firecrackers on paper
There is a complete ban on making and burning firecrackers in the capital Delhi. Despite this, firecrackers are being prepared indiscriminately in the factory. It is being told that the role of local police in this case is suspicious. The Supreme Court and NGT are continuously giving strict instructions regarding the increasing pollution in Delhi. But the instructions are being followed only on paper.
