With 16 deaths in four illegal firecracker explosions in West Bengal over the past 10 days, the state government decided to reward anyone who provides information on those manufacturing such firecrackers. Reportedly, district magistrates have been directed to ensure that only those firecracker-manufacturing units with fire and explosive licenses, besides training certificates from the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), be permitted to function.
