Hyderabad: The Hyderabad city police banned bursting of firecrackers or fireworks in public spaces especially around military cantonment areas in interest of public safety.

The orders were issued in view of the current security environment in the country. The notification issued by the Hyderabad Police C V Anand stated that “ in light of the current security environment the sudden sound of fire crackers could be early misinterpreted as a sign of distress, an explosion, or even a terror related activity. This could potentially lead to panic, disrupt public order, and place unnecessary strain on security forces.”

The police warned any person violating the directive would face legal action.
