In the early hours of a Sunday morning in Duttapukur, West Bengal, an explosion reduced an illegal fireworks factory to rubble, taking with it the lives of workers who had arrived simply to earn their wages. The blast, at a facility operating entirely outside the law, is one chapter in a long and recurring story of vulnerable laborers, volatile materials, and the shadows in which unregulated industry thrives. As rescue teams sifted through the wreckage and hospitals braced for the injured, the event forced into daylight what enforcement and indifference had long allowed to remain hidden.

Potential short-term supply disruptions in illegal fireworks market; increased prices for regulated fireworks due to crackdown; consumers may face stricter regulations and reduced availability of cheaper illegal alternatives during festival seasons.
