A reality check was conducted by Sandesh News to examine the fire safety conditions at Ahmedabad's oldest and largest Raipur firecracker market during the Diwali festivities. The investigation revealed that traders have prioritised fire safety and established excellent arrangements in their shops.
Despite the narrowness of the market area, traders have kept fire cylinders, water drums, and sandbags that are genuinely useful rather than merely for show. Specifically, arrangements for long hose pipes have been made. According to the traders, if a fire breaks out in the opposite shop, they can control it by spraying water using the long pipes from their own location.
According to the Sandesh News report, such security arrangements were observed in all the shops of the market, providing a sigh of relief to the administration. Traders stated that they are complying with all the rules of the administration. Due to this precaution, confidence has grown among the citizens coming to purchase firecrackers.
