Bareilly Tazia makers violated height rules, causing fire
In Faridpur, India, authorities have filed charges against five individuals for constructing a 25-foot-tall Tazia, exceeding the permitted 12-foot height, which subsequently caught fire after hitting a high-tension power line. The incident occurred during a religious procession, narrowly avoiding casualties. Despite prior warnings and meetings, the Tazia committee built the oversized structure, leading to the fire and prompting immediate police action. Following the incident, a local police officer was suspended for failing to prevent the violation. Authorities emphasized the potential for a major disaster and are taking legal action against those responsible for the safety breach.
