Delhi Police has seized over 640 kilogram of firecrackers from three different areas in north Delhi, following the Supreme Court’s order on sale of old firecrackers, an official said on Sunday.

What's so special about banning "old" firecrackers ?? Do they make more noise ??

The honorable Supreme Court should ban all firecrackers, new or old, regardless of what ceremony ( weddings etc ) or festival they are burst in.

Four injured, Central Railway halts services
A massive fire broke out on Monday in a factory in neighbouring Thane district, injuring four persons and forcing Central Railway (CR) to halt train services in the area as its tracks are about a 100 metres away from the site of incident.

A Fire Brigade official said that the blaze was reported at around 2pm from the Factory situated over 60 kilometres from here.

Personnel, fire engines and tankers from fire brigade units have been rushed to the site, he added.

Senior Inspector of police station said that four workers were injured.

“There were 13 workers inside the factory at the time of the fire and all started running when it broke out. The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital and are out of danger,” Senior Inspector said.

He said that the fire is under control and cooling operations were underway.

CR chief spokesperson Sunil Udasi informed that the Down line was shut between 3:53pm and 4:20pm as a precautionary measure due to the thick fumes emanating from the fire.

One suburban train and a long-distance one were caught up on the tracks for a while due to the fire, he said, adding that no service was cancelled as yet.

Senior inspector informed that a case was being registered, adding that officials and factory inspectors were on the spot.
