💨 Abstract

On April 1 in Kolkata, a fireworks factory explosion in Pathar Pratima, South 24 Parganas, resulted in eight fatalities. The West Bengal fireworks association blames the tragedy on the owner's negligence and lack of local administration monitoring. The owner, who held a valid license for producing permitted fireworks, allegedly failed to strictly enforce safety rules for firework storage and there were insufficient checks by local police and officials.
