REGULATION OF MANUFACTURING & USE OF

EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS & FIRE CRACKERS

For ensuring Safety of Human Beings, Animals, Properties & To Contain Accidents, Loss of Life & Property
For Pollution Free Environment, Healthy Living

It is a fact that there is no accurate data with government/s regarding

the quantities of raw material processed, used in the manufacture of
explosives used for mining, industrial purposes, military applications, &
also in the manufacture of fire crackers, related application in INDIA;
also government is nor having accurate data of the storage, stock
location, conditions of storage of the raw material, finished products of
the explosives fireworks (including the individuals who purchased in retail
and stored at their homes for festive occasions, which were left unused
after that festive season/ occasion, which are otherwise lying for months
at homes/ establishments till the next festive season, usually Deepavali,
a potential threat for fire accidents at residential habitations; similarly
due to lack of uniformity in storage, quantities of storage of explosives
causing potential threat for not only blast accidents, but also serious
threat of explosive material going into the hands of terrorists. Anti social
elements) as a result there exist potential threats to loss of lives,
property, resulting in stagnation/ decline of development of the country.
Also serious health hazards for humans & animals due to excessive
pollutions caused (sound, air, water) due to indiscriminate use of fire
crackers every nuke and corner of India, every now and then, in the
name of some or other occasion like birthdays, marriages, victories,
opening and closing ceremonies etc in addition to Deepavali and other
festivals in the religious places resulting in prolonged illness and loss of
working age group people due to health disorders, if there is no
regulation from now onwards the situations will be out of control in future
causing irreparable damage to the future generations, productivity of the
country & development of the country.
As such government must regulate the manufacture, use explosive
materials and also the fire crackers, with complete ban on use of fire
crackers within the city limits, in all public places, in religious places, etc
by ensuring that all activities related to explosive, fire materials from
manufacturers, suppliers, users, and time, place of use must be within
the preview of the government, and government must maintain the data
bank of all the activities in the larger interest by using the data in
multiple ways.
The first step in this direction is creation of central unified authority for
maintaining integrated data bank of all explosive material & fire work
related acts across the country, followed by these exclusive measures to
ensure safety prevails in the larger interest.

EXPLOSIVES
[1]
Government make stringent norms for providing licenses
for excavation, processing, supply, storage of raw material of explosive in
nature, used in explosives manufacture, and there should be uniform
procedures across the country, and there should be standard procedures
& design for transportation and storage of raw material; all storage
godowns must be be far away from the habitations.
[2]
Mandatory registration with government by all end users of
explosive raw material & fire cracker raw material, the quantities, the
details of the suppliers. Also government must make standardisation use
of different types of explosive raw material for different applications for
various uses like mining, construction, military etc
[3]
Mandatory that procurement, sale of raw material for
explosive manufacture through online government department, in
addition online real time sale/ dispatch of quantities by the manufacture,
suppler with real time information to end user & to the government, with
GPS tracking by the manufacturer, distributor, government, end user the
movement of raw material and finished explosives till it reaches end
destination for storage, use ensure exact quantities & quality as intended
delivered without any pilferage/ wilful adulteration, theft enroute.
[4]
All the raw material and finished products of the explosives
transportation in covered vehicles with electronic locking, so that
ensuring unloading at designated locations (like petroleum fuels
transportation) with CC cameras mounted on the vehicles to record the
vehicle driving, as well the electronic locks and entire vehicle, all the
explosive material transport vehicles must be owned and operated by the
manufacturer, else exclusive hire transport vehicles specially designed as
per standards, meant only for transportation of explosive material which
are registered, inspected, approved by the government.
[5]
All the drivers/ staff in the exclusive explosive material
carrying vehicles must be teetotallers, non smokers, non consumption of
any kind of tobacco products, non drug addicts, and periodic surprise
checks by government under camera, online real time data storage, it
should be non bail able criminal offence to indulge in alcohol
consumption,
smoking,
drugs
consumption
or
indulging
in
sex/prostitution while on duty/driving the vehicle carrying explosives,
and it should be mandatory that breath analysers installed inside the
cabin of the vehicle, and every time the driver before switching on the
vehicle ignition, must undergo self breath analyser which records the
data online real time. This measure prevents the accidents on account of
alcohol consumption

[6]
Also it should be mandatory that all vehicles carrying
Explosive material must be equipped two DASH-CAMS inside the cabin
one focusing the road from the steering wheel to record the driving
pattern of the driver, one focusing the inside of the cabin from the driver
door side to know what all activities happening in the drivers cabin of the
explosive material carrying vehicle. The Dash Cams provide the real time
video streaming online remotely. This measure ensures perfect driving by
the drivers of these vehicles by and large.
[7]
Complete ban on carrying mobile phones / use of mobile
phones within the cabin of the vehicles carrying the explosives; soon
they enter the vehicle all the staff/ drivers must deposit in the mobiles in
the designated space in the vehicle cabin; also there should be online
real time communication with a national call centre with the transport
vehicles for any communication; they can do communication with fixed
number of family members through calls routed through the call centre
during rest period.
And all the mobile phone service providers in
association with national monitoring centre for explosive material
carrying vehicles should deactivate personal mobiles temporarily for the
driving period of 10 pm to 6 am, of the driver and all staff in the cabin of
the vehicle, all the communication through call centre only (This measure
should be applied to all vehicles carrying Inflammable materials like
Petroleum products, Chemicals etc); This measure contains accidents to
a great extent, as it become a common syndrome that most of the
drivers use the mobile while driving, also most of the cleaners watch the
so called films, songs, Pornography, on the mobile phones which will
distract the driving and causing accidents. (DASH CAMS, MOBILE
DESPOT, DE-ACTIVATING DURING DRIVING, ALL EMERGENCY CALLS
THROUGH NATIONAL CALL ENTER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STILL/ NOT
RUNNING is very need of the hour measure that should be implemented
on all heavy vehicles plying in the high ways )
[8]
Mandatory that government standardise the methods,
quantities and types of explosives
for mining activities and other
activities where explosives are use for blasting/ collapsing the structures
etc based on various parameters like soil condition, vicinity to
habitations, amount of dust/ sound/ shock/vibrations generated out of
the explosion etc etc so that maximum safety is assured.
[9]
All the end users must specify the details of need for use of
explosives in their place, so that before providing the permission to use
explosives the government experts assess /analysis the need, type,
quantity of explosive raw material enquired through data submitted by
the end user, also carry out the physical inspection by the government
experts to assess the need for explosive materials as well safe use of
explosive material ensuing no accidents/ damage to any other
structures/persons within the vicinity of the place of explosives use and

ensure the end user procure the same from authorised manufactures/
suppliers of the explosive material in the required quantities and qualities
in their territory.
[10]
Mandatory that all explosive raw material and finished
products of explosives carried/ transported to manufacturing units or
storage units in different destinations in a separate transport vehicles
which should be specially designed to withstand impact of shocks due to
head on collision accidents (under normal conditions), also with stand the
fire/ blasts (certain extent) like mine proof vehicles, also with separate
colour coding of the entire vehicle, with night vision paints all along and
flags for easy identification of other vehicles/ commuters to understand
that these vehicles are carrying the explosive materials, with all vehicles
drivers are specially trained to drive safely, with minimum number of
year of experience in driving heavy vehicles in these specified
territories/terrains, and it should be mandatory that separate horn/ siren
for all explosive material carrying vehicles and mandatory at least 100
mt distance / gap maintained by other vehicles when the explosives
material carrying vehicles ply on the highways.
[11]
Also it should be mandatory that all explosive carrying
vehicles play only during the period of less traffic i.e. after 10 pm and
before 6 am even in high ways, so that the risk of accidents can be
reduced, not only due to less traffic, but also due to less temperatures /
heat on the roads in the nights in all seasons. All the explosive carrying
vehicles must be mandatorily equipped with douse /nap detection & alert
devices so that the driver will not fall asleep while driving.
[12]
Also all the explosive material carrying vehicles should be
checked for full fitness before it leaves the sight for destination, in
addition must carry the trained mechanic, helper and also spare parts in
the vehicles to get repair it in case of breakdown of the vehicles; Also all
the explosive material carrying vehicles must possess fire extinguisher
foam, one kilometre length water carrying pipes with spray guns and also
the full first ait aid kits.
[13]
Also there should be exclusive specific designated places
for halting the vehicles carrying the explosive material, with mandatory
follow of 8 hours duty by the drivers of the vehicles, and mandatory rest
period of one day every vehicle driver. And also must follow specific
designated roads only to carry the explosive material to minimize the
accidents, safe transportation.
[14]
Mandatory that all the explosive raw material manufactures
and explosive material finished products manufacturers, transporters,
must deposit at least 1/5 of the projected turnovers or full value of the
material/ Rs one crore which ever is higher, as deposit with the

government as security deposit (simple bank interest for the money

deposited to be credited to the account of the manufacturer), in case of
violation of any norms the manufacture must forego its deposit.
[15]
Mandatory all the explosive material users must deposit a
fixed amount of 1/10 of the turnover or 1 core rupees as a deposit with
government explosives department in case they procure the raw
material/ finished products and they themselves use the material with
their employees.
[16]
Also government must enhance its staff / trained
manpower for to safe use of explosives for different productivity
purposes, and provide them on hire to the required, like mining operation
or any other place where use of explosives is required, in such cases
there is no need for fixed deposit from the end users, only the material
and user charges are required to be paid by the end user, as the
operations for use of explosives is carried out by the government trained
experts, this facility can be use only when the end user do not apply /
possess permission to purchase, hold stock of explosive raw material.
[17]
Mandatory that all in-house users of explosive raw material
for blasting in the mines or in any other place, all the explosive material
users must be qualified/get required certification from the government
for understanding the nature, quantities, method of use of explosive
material, and for obtaining the certification in use of explosive raw
material, there should be minimum education qualifications, and all
such certified persons must work only in registered organisations/
industry in a permanent employment (with complete ban on working on
freelance/ temporary bases, it should a non bail able criminal offence to
work temporary bases/ in un registered organisations) and all those
certified persons in explosives use should be under constant monitoring
of the government, and must report their where about to government,
also must get their licences / certification to get renewed every year.
Also all the in-house users of the explosives like all mining / excavation
agencies both private and government must built the storage capacitates
of explosives that are just sufficient for one month operations on an
average, with every 15 days the stock should be procured to fill the
balance buffer stock. All the storage places must be under high resolution
CC camera surveillance, all the storage and handing should be done
under CC camera recording. The PESO Petroleum and Explosives Safety
Organisation, should have full-fledged data with quasi judicial powers to
work in tandem with local police to contain any deviations; all the
licences details of all category users must be online with information,
update online real time to local police, about storage, transport, usage of
explosive material.

Also it should be mandatory that all the explosive material used in the
defence, military should be under joint accountability of military as well
as explosives department of civil administration; and every single gram
of the explosive material and every single single weapon used for
testing/ routine military exercises must be accountable, recorded in the
CC cameras, all the storage, issue of the material should be online, and
the fire safety of the explosive material should be joint responsibility of
military as well as central explosives department (more accountability of
the military to CFEES of DRDO- Centre for Fire, Explosives and
Environment Safety rather than advisory & supportive role.. in order to
ensure no scope for any pilferage/ corruption.
In a nut shell as far as Explosive material used for industrial and military
purposes, Government should have data bank of the users of explosive
material (raw material, finished products to be used to detonate) like
mines etc; also online real time data of the stock piling of explosive raw
material quantities and qualities with each of the end user
establishments/ industries; also it should be made mandatory before use
of the explosive material there should be online real time permission
from the government for the use of the explosive material (whether the
end user is private, PSU, Govt. Dept), need for use, place of use,
quantities of use, safety measures etc; also government must use the
Geo Mapping of all the sites where explosive material is used and
Satellite Imagining of the localised territories of explosion/ blast to
monitor the mines/ explosives use in the open sites 24/7, so that all
explosives used can be identified with intensity of the blast, contain all
illegal, illegitimate use of explosives; in addition it should be mandatory
for the explosive material users must record the use of the explosive
material blasting from preparation of the material to explosion on the
high resolution video recording and up loaded to the government website
online real time, in addition all mining explosives operators must install
electromagnetic equipment at fixed distance from the explosions site to
record the sound decibels generated, also to record the impact, intensity
of the explosion/blast earth vibrations in that vicinity territory etc with
online real time data flow at the central servers of the user and
government authorities to ensure only required quantities as approved
by the government as per standards, as per pre approved online
permission to use the explosives are followed by the end user; in case of
violations severe punishments should be given to the end user for
violation of safety norms.; also daily audit for the quantities of explosive
material manufactured in the country, stock with the distributors/ end
users should be made (including in the demesnes establishments, with
data of the defence use concealed, made as classified data), with
monthly once surprise checks for on field stock positions at all locations
of explosive material related organisations (including defence
establishments); also mandatory that all explosive users in the mines
and construction must adopt the dust control measures to minimize the

dust pollution in the vicinity of the blast/explosion. Also it is a fact that

due to explosive material being used indiscriminately by the mining
operators across the country, causing severe pollution in the vicinity of
the mines, causing life risks for the mining labour, in addition causing
severe health discords to the mining workers, also loss of billions of
rupees of revenue to the government public exchequer due to illegal
mining activities, as majority of the mining activities requires use of
explosive material, All these can be avoided/ marginalised.
These measures ensure safety of the use of explosive material, prevents
illegal mining/ illegal use of the explosive material, also it contains that
explosive material being diverted/ used by the anti social/ terror groups
for creating terror activities in the country.

FIRECRACKERS
As far as the fire crackers manufacturing and use is concerned
It is a fact that Deepavali is the occasion that fireworks display is a
custom/ tradition followed in India from ancient times as a symbol of
victory over darkness and leading life towards light, even though no were
in any religious texts mentions that one should celebrate Deepavali with
chemical fireworks/ crackers/ sound generating bombs disturbing the
environment, causing health hazards to people, causing trauma/loss of
life for other creatures like animals, birds, also to the ecology, still it
being practiced as a custom, may be continued. Ideal that if all religious
leaders endorse only lighting of oil lamps i.e. deepas (diyas) during the
Deepavali festival or any other occasion as a symbol of bringing light to
the lives from darkness/ ignorance, and for prosperity, happiness of the
people, rather than burning the chemical based so called fire crackers,
also endorse to practice lighting of a oil lamp every day at home as a
symbol of light in life.
In the last few decades it becomes a fashion to use the fire crackers/
display of fireworks on every other occasion, especially in the marriages
functions, since India is having over 65% youth population with average
age of marriages is 25 to 35 years, and as of now over 10 million
marriages are occurring every year in India, and most of the marriages
fire crackers used/ fireworks display (the quantities may vary depending
up on the financial status of the married couples families income). Also it
is a fact that most of the cities are becoming concrete jungles and urban
population on the rise due to migration from rural India to urban India all
due to happening of developments, and most of the habitations are
thickly populated and hardly any sufficient open spaces. Also it is fact
that road to vehicle population density is very less in India with more
vehicles on less roads, also it is a fact most of the marriage venues are

within the city limits and people take procession from their homes to
marriage function venue, along with display of fire crackers on road side,
also display of fire crackers at the venues is a potential threat not only to
the bystanders/ passers on the road/ at function places, but also to the
household in the vicinity of the function halls with potential chances of
fire accidents, accidents due to lack of safety measures/ precautions
following in display of fireworks; In addition also causing heavy amounts
of pollution due to traffic stagnations on the roads on account of burning
of the fire crackers on the roads leading to health discords in millions of
people commuting/ plying on the roads, living in the vicinity of the
territories, in addition to heavy pollution due to noise as well as chemical
gases, dust/ waste from the burning of fire crackers, with hospitals,
within the vicinity/ en-route the marriage function places & Procession of
the marriage function (so called Barath), as India having millions of
cardiac patents, Millions of aged elderly people, millions of infants/ young
children due to millions of new marriages, are getting affected due to
indiscriminate use of crackers, which certainly disturbing/ deteriorate the
harmony/ health of the vicinity of the population in every territory; All
leading to loss of productivity of the country, developments activities will
effect due to loss of millions of man-hours, due to loss of millions of lifes
directly and indirectly due to non regulation of Fire crackers
manufacturing, also unregulated indiscriminate use of fireworks by the
individuals; All these draw backs can be contained by regulating the
manufacture and use of Fire crackers.
1)
Mandatory that government formulate standard designs of
fire crackers, with quantities of materials and type of chemicals use, and
the amount of heat generated, smoke generate, the amount of decibels
of sound generated, the length and breadth of trajectory in case of fire
crackers that goes vertical or horizontal etc, and classification of the fire
crackers / grading of the fire crackers, and based on the grades, the use
of fire cracker locations / territories can be specified; also based on the
classification/ grading the age limit for use of the types of fire crackers
should be fixed.
2)
Also government set the limits for emissions of pollutant
gases on account of fire crackers by improving R&D, like the vehicles
emission, and every manufacturer must adopt the standards by up
grading the use of less pollutant chemicals in the fire crackers.
3)
All the manufactures must get licence only by paying fixed
deposit in the government, and all the manufacturing units should be in
located in isolated locations with all safety measures in place, also all the
workers working in the manufacturing of the fire crackers must be
register with government, to prevent under aged employed in the
manufacturing of fire crackers; also standard uniform pay for all the
employees engaged in the fire crackers manufacture, with uniform
working conditions, uniform work output to pay, across the country.

All the staff/ employees engaged in manufacture and
distribution, sale of fire crackers must get training from National Civil
Defence Collage NCDC Nagpur, in Civil Defence and Disaster Relief
Management, and every worker must have adequate knowledge of
safety, rescue operations in case of accidents, and every worker must
become a volunteer in case of any accidents.; in addition all the
apartments, gated communities, RWA security staff must be mandatory
get trained in Civil Defence and Disaster Relief Management so that
causalities can be minimized to a great extent in the occurrence of any
unfortunate accidents. Also all students aged above 18 years must get
basic training in future in Civil Defence and Disaster Relief Management.
5)
All the manufacturing of fire crackers under CC cameras, all
the fire crackers must be packed with bar coding in each pack; in
addition all loading, un-loading of material in boxes under cc cameras
with bar-coding of the boxes, and tracking the destination of boxes of
crackers; all fire crackers should be sold in boxes and not loose; All the
boxes should be made of recyclable (mandatory to return by the buyer
along with security deposit for the Plastic box, non return of the box may
lead to not only losing the security deposit for the box, but also fine of
certain amount; this measure is necessary to reduce the use of paper
carton boxes to save water; also it is ideal to make use of alternative bio
degradable material i.e. other than paper like jute threads etc to make
the fire crackers to reduce the use of the papers in fire crackers.
6)
All the workers working in cracker manufacturing should be
given training in safety / precautions needed in manufacturing process,
handling of the explosive, flammable material, Also government must
make standardisation of manufacturing process and equipment, and all
the manufacturing units must have standard equipment, safety
apparatus, all the workers/ staff involved in manufacture distribution of
the fire crackers need to be provided with special medical care and
periodic health checkups for ensuring they are not subjected to severe
occupational health disorders due to prolonged contact with the chemical
substances, ban on manufacture with bare hand, all the workers must
wear safety gears , masks, gloves, apron, shoes, etc.
7)
Fixing the maximum percentage of wastage of raw material
in the manufacturing process, all the waste raw material / processes
waste should be accounted for and given back to the government
explosives department for re use/ safe disposal of the material.
8)
Also sale of finished fire craters through government
requisition by the individuals who wish to procure, only through prior
online requisition from government with automatic permission number
for fixed quantities after getting basic details of the purchaser like
AADHAAR number, voter id card number, address, contact details, the

from the customers to retailers to distributers to manufactures should be
online real time data with government, and all sale must be mandatory
quote the online government permission for that quantities of purchase
by that individual in the online real time sale bill; this measure ensures
complete accountability of sale of items, also the retailers will adhere to
sale within the time limit of operation of sale, also all sale must be under
CC camera; complete ban on loose sale of the fire crackers/ ban on
temporary outlets of fire crackers even during the Deepavali festival
season; geo mapping of the fire crackers manufacturing units, retailers.

vicinity of habitations), (in the separate designated places by the
government) that too only on obtaining the prior approval from the
government for display of fireworks, and each firework display should be
allowed only on making fixed amount deposited in the government as a
safety security deposit, and the quantities of fireworks/crackers, type of
crackers, should be restricted based on the chemicals quantities,
pollution emission (air and sound) by the government, and any violation
of the stipulated regulations or any accidents occurred during that
fireworks display, then the individuals/ institutions has to forego the
deposit in addition to being liable for punishments for culpable homicide,
and the deposited amount should vary based on the quantities and types
of fireworks displayed, also depending up on the zone of the vicinity of
the fireworks display.
10)
No permission for fire crackers storage, use in the vicinity
of hospitals, nursing homes, old age homes, government welfare hostels,
and in the vicinity of petroleum products store like Fuel stations, LPG Gas

Only for Deepavali fire crackers can be allowed to use at
individual locations with stringent norms to ensure safety precautions are
followed by every household and every user, in addition only such
fireworks are allowed to use which do not contain explosive material/
that do not generate sound, Also government must fix the limit of
quantities of fireworks/ crackers per house hold (not per person) sale &
use during the festival of lights; fireworks display should not be linked to
the economic status of the household, (which is otherwise prevailing at
present, the more the financial wealth of the household, the more the
fireworks display, the more the pollution they are causing, in addition
making more risk of safety of the people in the vicinity causing the poor
to suffer for the luxury/so called ego centric happiness of the elite);
complete ban on sale & use of bombs/ sound producing explosives/ fire
crackers of any capacity/ intensity to individual/ commercial users for
Deepavali, or any event, also ban on sale & use of flower pots, rockets to
individuals during Deepavali in the apartments, gated communities,

expiry of the designated date and time, and they should return back the
left over/ un used fire crackers in the plastic boxes to the place/store
where they procured.. and all the unused fireworks should get only 50%
the value of the firework cost, as these fireworks are safely stored till
they are sold to others in future; There should be designated persons
from the sellers to collect the left over firecrackers from the purchasers
in the territories for certain amount of additional pay; In case of
violation of this norm and store the fire woks by the individuals in their
household/ habitations irrespective of quantities should attract heavy
penalty; the penalty should be 10 times the cost of the items procured/
purchased by the individuals, if the quantities are beyond permitted
limits should attract imprisonment; this measure ensures more safety in
use of the fireworks by the individual / institutional persons.

Mandatory to wear cotton dress (ideal specific types of
dress codes for men, women designs approved by the government which
will ensure more safety, easy to get rid of fire in case of accidents) by the
people who wish to participate in the fireworks, it should be mandatory
that all those who display the fireworks during Deepavali or on any
occasion must wear the standard dress, in addition all those who wish to
stay within 10 mt radius of the fireworks must wear the standard dress
code; this measure certainly reduces the casualties in the event of fire

any accident occurs and the victims get burn injuries on account of
wearing non cotton dress, non-specified dress the persons should be
fined for 50,000 Rs.

There should be fixed compensation for all accident victims
from the government throughout India, for the accidents victims on
account of fire crackers, are compensated from the corpus fund, and all
the treatment for the victims for lifelong should be the responsibility of
the government, all the education/ skill training for the children, un
employed youth of the family of the diseased, should be the
responsibility of the government, in case un married bread earner of the
family lost life/ lost the capacity to do employment in all such cases not
only providing shelter, also lifelong free ration and substantial monthly
fixed amount should be paid to the victim/ victims family, also free water
and free electricity to a certain minimum quantities should be provided to
victims who lost life or livelihood on account of fire accidents.; also
government bear the minimum standard expenses for the marriage of
the un married daughters of the victims of the fire accidents.
27)
Also ideal that government designate specific open places
in each block/Mandal for display of fireworks for all occasions throughout
the year.; Also government must provide crackers on concession to be
displayed at a mass fire cracker display in a designated areas for the
Deepavali occasion, to encourage citizens to use mass display of
fireworks government must provide 20% concession on cost the actual
cost of the fire crackers to be used by them at the mass fire crackers
display in the specific common designated place in the block / Mandal;
and the entry for visitor should be nominal charges for those who wish to
just be a spectator to the display of fireworks; This measure will of of
great use for all those who are living within in the restricted firecrackers
display zone i.e. living within 500 mt of hospitals, to enjoy Deepavali in
the mass display ground; also this measure will be of great facility for all
those who are living in apartments, gated communities with limited
scope for display of fire crackers due to restrictions of use due to limited
space, can enjoy a lot in the mass display of fireworks; this measure
reduces the use of fireworks at the individual household in the urban
areas, especially in the apartments/ high rise buildings and also in the
slums where the space is a constraint, thus reduced pollution, in addition
that people symbolically light the traditional oil lamps at home during the
festive occasions following religious customs and then they visit the
common designated place for participation in the common fireworks
display. This measure will be huge success as many children, youth love
to enjoy the spectacular fireworks display for hours together of different
varieties, at the same time many other vendors selling eateries, sweets,
some arties etc will get increased; also this measure may develop
permanent visitors/ permanent business for firecrackers as well other
business like eateries, articles etc as there are marriage/ birthday
occasions comes throughout the year and some or other people every
day do display some or other quantities of fire work display; this
measure may become some tourist attraction in some places near to
tourist destinations. Government should construct several sizes of

permanent structures, in addition the provision for multi cuisine

traditional foods for celebrating birthday functions / marriages in these
places so that many will celebrate the functions there only. This measure
also provides substantial employment directly and indirectly. Ideal that
government run electric operated/ CNG / metro rail connectivity for
mass transport to these destinations in the block/ Mandal, with
mandatory condition that people who wish to use the facilitates/ visit
must use the multi mode transport, with entry to these designated
exclusive fireworks display/ function place through reading of bar coded
tickets of multimode mass transport, else pay more for entry, so that
people will avail the facility, in addition reduce the vehicular pollution
drastically, as in this vicinity already pollution caused due to fireworks
display, so that the reduction in vehicular pollution will certainly balance
the pollution levels in the vicinity to a tolerable limits.
Also government must ensure that fire department is having trained
manpower with equipment in the safe disposal of unused explosives of
various types and capacitates, and trained latest equipment and
technologies, and all such trained persons must be made available in all
mandals,/ in such locations which enables the fire / explosive disposal
experts reach the site within the shortest possible time like 108, medical
ambulances; also all the mandals/ designated places of fire / explosive
disposal teams (ideally should be located in the police stations) must
have equipment, which enable safe explosions within the limited covered
bags that contains the intensity of heat, shock generated from the blast
within that covered box, so that it marginalises the intensity of accidents,
as some explosives is highly risky to carry from the place of explosives,
for safe disposal in isolated locations, all such cases specialised
equipment is necessary to dispose off the explosives in the location
where they were found, safely.; also all the mandals /blocks have fire
extinguisher equipment water tankers that source the water from the
semi treated semi sewage water (i.e. water collected from the wash
basins, bath rooms) in the nearby vicinity storage of such waters to save
fresh waters.
Also it should be mandatory that all house hold,
apartments,
gated
communities,
RWA,
industries,
commercial
establishments must possess the fire extinguishers in various
capacitates, and provide training for all citizens to use the fire
extinguishers, also government conduct periodic audit for the functioning
of the fire extinguishers in every household/ associations of apartment
buildings, gated communities, RWA, industrial / commercial units.
Also government must make it mandatory that all government and
private hospitals and nursing homes must admit, treat free of cost the
patents related to any accidents, especially the fire accidents, also it
should be made mandatory that 50% of the experts in the burn injuries
or neurological and bone experts from the neighbouring districts/ across
the country should be made available within few hours after any

unfortunate incidents of accidents occurred in any remote place of INDIA

where the casualties are more/ mass destruction/ major accident
happens. This measure ensure better, quicker treatment and recovery of
the accident victims due to specialists in that particular field based on the
type of the accident, especially the fire accidents, and certainly reduce
the number of causalities.
Also complete cordoning if the accident site soon after the accidents,
complete ban on visitors t the accidents any other persons other than the
rescue and relief team members irrespective of their designation in the
government or political and public life in the country, to ensure no
hampering of any relief and rescue operations till the rescue and relief
operations are fully over; also complete ban on relatives of the victims
visiting the accident site or hospitals, including all persons in the
government with any designation, all persons in political and public life,
only after due first-aid and once the condition of victim patents get
stabilised the relatives should be allowed to visit the hospital, this
measure is necessary to reduce the risk of infections for the injured
patents, also to reduce the undue pressure due to emotional outburst of
the patents relatives on the doctors, medical staff who are treating the
patents. Also complete ban on coverage of the media the victims in the
hospitals, also complete ban of airing the so called sound bites/
interviews of the victims families / survivors till the rescue operations are
over and till treatment of the patents are taken care at least one week;
Also only one media channel should be allowed to cover the accident site
that too only from distance and not within the cordoned area.
Also it should be made mandatory that the military/ air force, civil
aviation helicopters, flights operate and accommodate the expert doctors
and medical staff from the far away locations to ferry them to the
designated location of the accident site/ hospitals where the patients are
placed; also all the ambulances operated in the district by the
government and 80% of the ambulances of private hospitals must be
under the duty of ferrying of the accident victims in case of accidents
occurred in that district by default.
The above measure ensures safety in use of explosives, fireworks,
reduces the occurrence of accidents on account of explosives / fireworks
thus saving lives and millions of man-hours on account of preserving
health of the people and saving precious lifes of humans and animals,
environment, National Security, thus enabling occurrence of more
productivity, sustained development and inclusive growth in the country.
