Tirupur: The Tirupur district administration has taken swift action to provide shelter and food to families affected by a recent firecracker explosion in Pandiyan Nagar. The incident, which occurred during firecracker manufacturing at a house owned by Karthi, caused significant damage to over 20 houses in the area, leaving many families and workers unable to stay in their homes.

Tirupur District Collector Prithviraj, who inspected the area following the accident, assured immediate relief measures for the affected individuals. Acting on this promise, the district administration and police department have accommodated more than 30 displaced persons in a private marriage hall in Pandiyan Nagar.
