Administration conducts intensive raids on firecracker stalls in Jamnagar for security checks

Keeping the Diwali festival in mind, a joint checking campaign has been undertaken by the administration in Jamnagar district to examine security standards at firecracker stalls. Joint teams of officials from the Police Department, Estate Branch, and Fire Department conducted surprise raids and inspections at firecracker stalls located in various areas of the city. This inspection created a state of panic among the traders.

According to a report by Sandesh, officials visited every stall and carried out a detailed verification of the available fire extinguishers, water arrangements, and the distance maintained between the stalls. The primary objective of this inspection is to ensure that mishaps such as fire do not occur due to short circuits or any other reasons during the festivals.

The administration has given clear instructions to the traders that no negligence of any kind will be tolerated during the sale of firecrackers. They have been urged not to keep flammable materials around the stalls and to take all necessary precautionary measures to prevent fire. Strict orders have been issued to all traders to strictly adhere to the license conditions and security rules.
