A police and revenue team raided a residence where unlicensed fireworks worth about ₹2 lakh were stored alongside a children's coaching centre, raising safety concerns.
Police officers and officials from the revenue department conducted a surprise raid on a residential property, uncovering a large stock of fireworks that had not been licensed for sale or use.
The seizure amounted to roughly ₹2 lakh worth of crackers, which were being hoarded in the premises despite strict regulations that prohibit such storage in densely populated areas.
Investigators also found that the same house was being used as a coaching centre for school‑going children. The juxtaposition of unregulated explosives and an educational setup prompted authorities to question the safety of the students and the broader community.
Local officials said the raid underscores the need for stricter monitoring of illegal firecracker stockpiles, especially in locations where children gather for learning activities.
