In Rourkela, two businessmen were recently caught by the Plant Site police for illegally storing firecrackers worth a whopping Rs 18 lakh. As the festive season approaches, the police were on high alert and discovered the illegal stash. In order to prevent any accidents, the firecrackers were immediately confiscated and destroyed in the presence of a magistrate on Monday evening.
The scene was almost like a mini-Deepavali festival as the seized crackers were lit up. Even the bystanders who gathered around to watch couldn't resist the excitement and joy of the moment. The two businessmen, Ajaya Kumar Gupta and Bikash Agarwal, were taken into custody by the police under the Explosive Act for their illegal activities. It was found that they did not have the necessary license to store such hazardous materials.
Giving more details about the incident, SDPO Zone 1 Nirmal Chandra Mohapatra stated that the police had received prior information about the businessmen storing a large quantity of firecrackers in Bondamunda and near the Plant Site locality. Acting swiftly, the police conducted a raid and found the two men in possession of the illegal goods. As they were unable to provide any valid documents for their actions, the police had no choice but to seize the firecrackers and detain the businessmen.
Mohapatra further emphasized the importance of following rules and regulations when it comes to handling dangerous items like firecrackers. He stated that the raids will continue in order to maintain safety and anyone caught violating the rules will face serious consequences. He also highlighted the designated places where firecrackers can be legally stored and sold, and reminded everyone that it is crucial to follow proper guidelines in order to prevent any unfortunate incidents.
