Central Minister of State L. Murugan has alleged that the Tamil Nadu government does not seem to be monitoring whether the private firecracker factories are following the rules properly.
In his X post about this,
The news that 4 workers were killed in an explosion today in a firecracker factory in Sattur Panguwarpatti village of Virudhunagar district is very painful.
How much longer are we going to keep hearing the same message over and over again? The government does not seem to monitor whether the private crackers are properly following the rules set for them.
We have a strong doubt whether the district administration is conducting a proper investigation on this matter. In a row, more than four accidents have occurred in firecracker factories around Virudhunagar district this year alone.
It is necessary for this government to consider the lives of common innocent people and their families at stake. I urge the district administration to intensify the measures so that no more accidents occur.
Also, I express my deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the accident and request the government to provide immediate relief to their families. Om Shanti..! He saided.
