Summary:
To avoid any untoward incident during Diwali week, the district administration has designated three places in the city for selling firecrackers. Divulging details, ADC Sukhpreet Singh Sidhu said 34 firecracker stalls would be installed at three designated sites. Acting on it, this year the district administration has allowed only three hours for bursting firecrackers on the Diwali night. Even the district administration has failed to check the illegal sale of firecrackers, which is going on unabated in various parts of the district. The illegal sale of crackers has begun in the city without the permission of the district administration..
