LUCKNOW, Sept. 4 -- Alarmed over two similar instances only days ago that killed two people and a cow, Behta was shaken by another blast due to explosives used in fireworks on Tuesday night. This was the third such incident reported within 72 hours in the village under Gudamba police station limits near here. No injuries were reported since the explosion this time took place in a pit filled with the gunpowder recovered from raids on Monday and Tuesday, officials said. Apart from the two deaths, five people were injured in the first incident. Confirming the incident, Ghaziur ACP Anindaya Vikram Singh said: "Gunpowder meant for the crackers recovered from the area was dumped in a 20-foot deep pit by a bomb squad team and covered. The pit was dug on the outskirts of the village. There were no injuries." Meanwhile, locals blamed mishandling during the disposal for Tuesday's blast, and alleged that standard safety norms were ignored. They accused police of negligence and claimed that the pit was not filled with water after the gunpowder's disposal, due to which the material ignited. One of them said people were so scared that they could not sleep all night. "The explosion was so strong that it caused cracks in a water tank built under the Jal Jeevan Mission," he added. The latest explosion occurred a little far from where police and a bomb disposal squad had destroyed nearly 30 quintals of explosives recovered during raids on Monday and Tuesday. The raids were part of a crackdown following the earlier blasts....
