Sattur Assembly constituency has been notorious for illegal fireworks for years. Mostly these units operate in houses as well as sheds in Sattur and Vembakottai Unions.
After gaining work experience in fireworks units, workers establish their own units with a view to greater profits.
Without permits or safety measures, accidents have been reported in such units because they use highly sensitive chemicals. The victims of explosions are not only owners and workers, but also sometimes neighbors, including children.
