The Tiruvarur District Police has warned the ‘Deepavali’ revellers that stern action would be taken against them if found to burst crackers at certain specific places.
According to an official release from the Tiruvarur District Police, revellers should refrain from bursting crackers near hospitals and places where elderly persons and children live in large numbers as the bursting of crackers might affect their living environment.
