Rewari Police have launched a crackdown on the illegal sale and storage of firecrackers ahead of Diwali. During raids conducted at multiple locations across four areas of the city, police seized large quantities of firecrackers allegedly stored without authorisation. Three people were detained, and separate cases have been registered in connection with the incidents.
Acting on the directions of Superintendent of Police Hemendra Meena, police teams conducted simultaneous raids at several locations in Rewari to prevent the unauthorised sale and storage of firecrackers ahead of Diwali.
The raids were carried out in Muktiwara, Takiyasarai, Gokal Gate and Shakti Nagar. During the inspections, police found firecrackers allegedly being stored and sold without the required permission.
A large quantity of firecrackers was seized during the operation, while three people were detained. Police have taken the seized firecrackers into custody and initiated further legal proceedings.
According to police, complaints concerning the illegal sale and storage of firecrackers are being taken seriously as demand for firecrackers increases during the Diwali season.
In view of these concerns, SP Hemendra Meena had directed the police stations concerned to take action against those involved in unauthorised firecracker sales and storage.
Following these instructions, police teams conducted searches across different parts of the city. Firecrackers found stored without the required authorisation were seized during the operation.
However, detailed information regarding the total quantity and estimated value of the seized firecrackers has not yet been released. Police have confirmed that three people were detained and that legal proceedings are underway in the respective cases.
Following the raids, separate cases were registered by the City Police Station and Model Town Police Station.
Police teams from both jurisdictions are investigating the respective cases. According to the police, selling or storing firecrackers without the required authorisation constitutes a violation of applicable regulations, and legal action will be taken against those found involved.
Superintendent of Police Hemendra Meena has directed police personnel to maintain strict surveillance over the illegal firecracker trade in the district.
He has made it clear that action against those selling or storing firecrackers without permission will continue. Police stations concerned have also been instructed to monitor such activities and take action in accordance with the law.
The raids conducted across four areas of Rewari form part of this enforcement drive. Three people were detained during the operation, and the firecrackers recovered from the locations were seized.
Demand for firecrackers generally increases in markets during the Diwali season. Preventing unauthorised sales and storage during this period remains a key responsibility for the police.
The ongoing investigation into the cases registered in Rewari is underway. Further legal proceedings against the detained individuals will be carried out in accordance with the applicable procedures.
