Delhi police sealed three shops that were found selling prohibited firecrackers, citing violations of the Fireworks (Regulation) Act.
On Thursday, Delhi police sealed three shops located in the city’s market area after discovering that they were selling firecrackers banned under the Fireworks (Regulation) Act. The sealed outlets were found to be in possession of several prohibited types of firecrackers that are illegal to sell and use in the city.
The authorities seized the stock and issued notices to the shop owners, warning them of potential legal action for violating the act. Police officials said the operation was part of a broader crackdown on illegal fireworks sales ahead of the upcoming festival season.
The sealed shops were identified during a routine inspection by the Delhi Fire and Emergency Services, which has been intensifying its enforcement efforts to curb the sale of dangerous firecrackers in the capital.
