AFM in false alarm over suspected fireworks
Policemen and soldiers at Bighi this afternoon.
The Lands Department is to take legal action against Kalkara fireworks enthusiasts after material related to fireworks was found in part of the former Bighi Hospital that was being illegally occupied, informed sources said this afternoon.
The police and army explosives experts were called to the site this afternoon by the Lands Department. They confirmed that there were no fireworks in the building, but they found wooden frames used in ground fireworks and some 2000 pipes used for the letting off of fireworks.
The enthusiasts were ordered to evict the building within a week.

STQARRIJA GHALL-ISTAMPA Il-Kumitat tas-Socjeta' Circolo San Giuseppe Filarmonika Sagra Familja tal-Kalkara jixtieq jaghmel il-punti segwenti: 1. Is-Socjeta' u lanqas is-Sotto-Kumitat tan-Nar ma kienu involuti fl-uzu ta' kamra (u mhux binja) biex fih jinzammu l-kanen tal-murtali u xi apparat tan-nar tal-art. Kienu biss xi dilettanti li dehrilhom li juzaw din il-kamra li kienet abbandunata u kkundannata biex fiha jitfghu dawn l-affarijiet relatati man-nar. Il-binja kwazi kollha ta' Bighi f'dik iz-zona qatt ma setghet tintuza minhabba li tinsab bla soqfa wara li dawn waqghu xi snin ilu. Ix-shutter li kien hemm sar mill-istess delettanti biex ma jhallix izjed persuni jaghmlu uzu minn dan il-post ghal abbuzi li ta' spiss kienu jsiru. 2. Nergghu nipprecizaw li fl-ebda mument ma nstab kwalunkwe forma ta' nar, u l-ebda sors m'ghandu jigi kkwotat li jindika li b'xi mod dawn id-dilettanti ma kienu jafu jekk hemmx nar jew le. In-nar kollu li ntuza fil-festa gie mahruq, u l-ftit li kien fadal gie rritornat lejn kamra tan-nar licenzjata. 3. Huwa interessanti l-fatt li l-media kienet infurmata b'dan il-kaz qabel ma giet infurmata s-Socjeta'. Nistaqsu x'kien il-kaz u ghala sar dan? U nistaqsu il-ghala wkoll qatt ma saru mistoqsijiet lejn in-naha taghna dwar il-fatti veru tal-kaz?
