Rajan also found fault with the stipulation that the assembling shed should be 100 metres away from the display site and wrote that the assembly shed would be empty during the display and the condition laid down was unnecessary.

It was also noted that there was no need to enforce the condition that those employed with fireworks should wear protective gears, including safety glasses and ear defenders.

Regarding the condition that fireworks should be held 250 metres away from schools, hospitals and nursing homes, the minister pointed out that when the Pooram is held, the schools are given a holiday.
