Damoh SP Warns Firecracker Sellers of Action Over Safety Lapses

The Superintendent of Police arrived at Damoh’s bustling firecracker market early this morning to assess the safety arrangements in place. During the inspection, he noted a lack of basic fire‑fighting equipment, including extinguishers and clear firebreaks, raising concerns about potential fire hazards. The officer issued strict directives to shopkeepers, mandating the installation of fire extinguishers, proper storage of explosives, and adherence to fire‑safety protocols. He also warned that any failure to comply would trigger immediate action, including possible closure of non‑compliant stalls. Shopkeepers present at the market listened to the instructions, with some expressing willingness to cooperate and improve safety measures.
