Thane's district administration has outlawed rocket-style firecrackers following a string of fire incidents during Diwali celebrations. District Collector Shrikrushna Panchal revealed the decision after a blaze erupted at a high-rise in Raheja Gardens on Sunday night, leading to the rescue of approximately 50 individuals. Panchal attributed the ban to the fact that some fire-related incidents allegedly linked to rockets were reported during the festival.
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde personally oversaw the rescue operation at the Raheja Gardens complex, where the fire broke out at around 8.30 pm, affecting the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors.
