DENPASAR: Bali Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Ketut Untung Yoga Ana has asked the island’s hotels and entertainment spots to be very selective in using fireworks during New Year’s and Christmas celebrations.

“The fireworks used must have importation or production licenses from the National Police and the size should not exceed 2 inches [5 centimeters],” he said, adding that any firework larger than 2 inches would require purchase and use licenses issued directly by the National Police headquarters in Jakarta.

He stated that fireworks were a controlled substance as stipulated by National Police chief regulation No.2/2008 on the control and supervision of explosive materials.
