\nFollowing the court orders regarding holding a draw for issuing licences to cracker sellers, a temporary market set up at Burlton Park here has<\/p>\n
been closed. The administration has cancelled all previously allotted licences and asked the traders to apply afresh. The licences will be issued<\/p>\n
through a draw on Monday evening.<\/p>\n
While 98 licences were issued in the city area last year, not more than 78 (20 per cent less) licences will be issued this time. Deputy<\/p>\n
Commissioner Varinder K Sharma said he today held a meeting with the officials concerned, including the Police Commissioner and SSP, to<\/p>\n
chalk out the plan for implementing the orders to allow firecrackers only for three hours. “PCR teams will be deployed to check violation. We<\/p>\n
have imposed Section 144 of the CrPC and anyone found violating it will be imprisoned and fined under Section 188 of the IPC,” he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Baldev Raj of Wholesale Fireworks Association, said he along with other members would hand over a memorandum to the DC<\/p>\n
seeking a relief on the orders. \u201cCrackers worth crores were collectively bought by us to see a good business in these few days. We had taken<\/p>\n
licences for Rs 1,000 from the administration, paid rent for temporary shops and have started sales. But just five days ahead of the festival,<\/p>\n
our business has been ruined by one order,\u201d he rued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
