The Judge said the fireworks tragedy at Puttingal Devi Temple at Paravur in Kollam has left more than 100 people dead besides injuring and disabling scores apart from causing damage to property.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not an isolated incident and statistics reveal that more than 500 people have been burnt alive in similar festivals and celebrations across the state. &#8220;The existing laws like Explosives Act and the Rules framed thereunder or the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) are often honoured by its breach by the organisers,&#8221; he said. Noting that the Supreme Court has come down heavily on bull taming sport &#8216;Jallikkattu&#8217; in the name of religious celebrations, Justice Chitambaresh asked, &#8220;then why not fireworks which consume human lives&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>He said the deafening noise and widespread pollution caused by fireworks adds to the woes and miseries of numerous citizens living in the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Palakkad district tops the list for such man-made tragedies and I cannot turn a blind eye to this senseless celebrations in temples, churches and mosques,&#8221; the Judge said in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>The Judge&#8217;s plea come amid growing calls for banning fireworks display in the wake of Kerala&#8217;s worst-ever fireworks tragedy which killed 109 and injured 383 in the wee hours on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use of high decibel fire crackers must be banned at allKerala temples, a senior Kerala High Court Judge suggested today, seeking immediate judicial intervention by the court to stop &#8220;man-made&#8221; tragedies like Kollam mishap.
