Brampton has issued $37,500 in fines after a wave of complaints about fireworks and public disturbances during this year’s Diwali celebrations, despite a city-wide ban on fireworks, but that number could rise.
The City of Brampton says it received 1,688 service requests between Nov. 6 and 9, with about 45 percent related to fireworks and public nuisance.
That means roughly 760 of the requests involved fireworks or disturbances, highlighting the challenges facing the city as it tries to enforce its prohibition during one of the year’s biggest celebrations.
