Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has sought to know what action government has taken against fireworks units at Sivakasi which violated norms, leading to frequent accidents.
Justices S Rajeswaran and T Mathivanan, hearing a Public Interest Litigation, seeking compensation for the 39 persons killed and injured several others, asked government to inform it about the action taken.
On September 5 2012, 39 persons were killed in a fire in a fireworks manufacturing unit in Sivakasi.
The Additional Solicitor General said the factory's licence had been cancelled based on a report of a commission constituted by the Centre. Other units which violated the norms had been issued warning notices, he said

The judges asked the ASG to find out if the units had implemented safety measures as per rules.
Hearing another writ filed by one G Murugesan whose son lost his limbs in the fire, the judges asked the ASG to ascertain if all the people had been given compensation.
They asked Dr Pranab Nirmal of Sivakasi Government hospital and Subbulakshmi, Virudhunagar Collector's Personal Assistant,to visit the hospital here and assess his condition.
