🚨 **URGENT INSPECTION DEMANDED: FIRECRACKER LICENCE, STOCK STORAGE & PUBLIC SAFETY AT MAHARASHTRA FIRE WORK SHOP, SV ROAD** **Mumbai | Andheri West** An urgent request is being made to **D.N. Nagar Police Station, BMC K/West Ward and Mumbai Fire Brigade** to conduct a joint inspection of **Maharashtra Fire Work Shop, located on S.V. Road, opposite J.P. Road Junction, Andheri West, Mumbai.** The concerned authorities are requested to verify the shop's firecracker-selling licence, including its issuing authority, licence number, original issuance date, current validity, renewal or revalidation status and compliance with the latest departmental circulars, applicable Explosives Rules and court directions. If the establishment is relying on an old licence, the authorities must specifically verify whether that licence remains legally valid for the current period and whether it permits the present premises to conduct firecracker sales and storage. **A particularly serious concern requiring verification is the storage of firecrackers.** The authorities are requested to inspect not only the commercial shop but also any residential premises, rooms, godowns or other locations allegedly being used to store firecracker stock in connection with this business. The inspection should establish the exact quantity and category of fireworks stored, the premises where the stock is kept, whether the locations are covered by valid permissions, whether prescribed storage limits and safety distances are being followed, and whether adequate fire-prevention and emergency arrangements are available. Any residential premises being used for commercial storage must be examined for compliance with applicable explosives licensing and safety requirements. The D.N. Nagar Police, K/West Ward officials and Fire Brigade should jointly verify the licence, stock registers, purchase and supply records, storage permissions, applicable Fire NOCs and inspection records. The authorities should also examine whether the establishment is complying with the latest government and police orders governing the sale, possession, display and storage of firecrackers. Complete information regarding the inspection will also be sought through RTI applications, including the inspection date, names and designations of inspecting officers, licence verification report, quantity of stock found, storage locations inspected, fire-safety compliance, violations observed, photographs and panchnama where available, notices issued and action taken. **If any violation, unauthorised storage or breach of licence conditions is established, appropriate action must be initiated under applicable laws.** Firecrackers involve significant fire and public-safety risks, particularly when stored in residential premises or locations that have not been approved for such use. Authorities must not rely solely on a shopkeeper's verbal claim of possessing an old licence. The validity of the permission and actual compliance must be independently verified. **An immediate joint inspection and written action-taken report are requested in the interest of residents' safety and public accountability.** @CMOMaharashtra @mybmcwardKW @mybmc @AshwiniBhide @TawdeRitu @iambadasdanve @DeshmukhSharif @weworkngo @discoveryofmaha @ShamKha65102047
