In Tamil Nadu, three people making firecrackers in their home, were charred to death today in a fire accident at Vembakottai village near Sivakasi in Virudhunagar district. Police is searching for the owner of the house who had employed the persons to make the crackers.There was a huge blast and the crackers went into flames burning to death three villagers of Vijayakarisalkulam near Sivakasi. They were making firecrackers without having any licence in the backyard of a house. Fire experts say the friction and heat might have resulted in the crackers catching fire. Virudhunagar Collector Hariharan has ordered raids by police and revenue authorities and search houses where crackers are made and stored illegally. After 39 persons were killed in a fire accident early this month in Muthalaipetti fire cracker factory, the State authorities had cancelled the licences of about 50 illegal units. Fire cracker manufacturing is the only job known to local villagers of Sivakasi. Awareness has to be created among the people of Sivakasi that the crackers they make to lit up Deepavali should not remove the light from their lives because of carelessness.
