Tirupur: The Tirupur district administration has taken swift action to provide shelter and food to families affected by a recent firecracker explosion in Pandiyan Nagar. The incident, which occurred during firecracker manufacturing at a house owned by Karthi, caused significant damage to over 20 houses in the area, leaving many families and workers unable to stay in their homes.
