Alam was running this cracker in an area with factory population. In such a situation, there is a possibility of the cracker factory being illegal. It is believed that Alam’s wife and children were making crackers. At the same time, there was a strong explosion in the gunpowder kept in the house. The police of Gudamba police station are investigating the entire incident. UP CM Yogi Adityanath has taken cognizance of the accident at the firecracker factory in Lucknow. He has expressed condolences to the families of the deceased.
CM Yogi has ordered the district administration to get the injured treated. On the instructions of CM Yogi, the district administration and police of Lucknow conducted a fast relief work on the spot. Even before the explosion in the cracker factory in Lucknow, there were explosions in illegal cracker factories in many places in UP. For this reason, only after assuming power, CM Yogi ordered the police and administration to take strictness on illegal cracker factories in all the districts of UP. In such a situation, the question is arising that how was the cracker factory named Alam running on the place with a population of Behata village? There is a possibility of strict action in relation to this incident.
