10 Killed in Fire at Illegal Gujarat Firecracker Factory

DCP Mayur Patil on Tuesday said, "A fire broke out at an illegal



firecracker factory in the Ramol area, resulting in the deaths of 10 people. We had previously shut down the factory because its license had expired on March 31, 2026, and the premises had been sealed. 

However, taking advantage of the police being occupied with security arrangements for the Rath Yatra, they attempted to reopen the illegal factory. This led to an accident and the loss of 10 lives."
