The police headquarters said that a fire broke out in a firework shop that was temporarily built in the Giriulla area.
It is reported that the fire broke out last night, and all the fireworks in the shop burst into flames, and the fire was extinguished with the intervention of the Giriulla Police and local residents. In addition, the property of two shops on either side of the fire has also been damaged.
Scholars have been pointing out for some time that the lack of proper standards for the fireworks sold in Sri Lanka as well as the centers that sell them is a serious problem.
