Abstract: Extreme changes are taking place in the climate and eco-system, thus we must act now to secure a safe, healthy and prosperous future of our planet earth. In fact there is no such thing as natural disaster we may term it as natural hazards, disasters often follow natural hazards. To understand the basic concepts and to adopt the sound practices of reducing the risk of disaster through systematic efforts by analysing and reducing the causal factors responsible for causing disasters is need of the hour for scientific community, law enforcement agencies and law abiding citizens of the country. Thus we have to think wisely and act smartly on all of our actions in every sphere of our works to save the mankind from future inferno of disasters. Through this research paper an effort has been made to put light on the need of developing resilience society for explosion mitigation amongst all the commercial explosives stake holders of India in line with the United Nation’s Sendai Framework Regulations for Disaster Risk Reduction. The statutory authority for controlling the current state of affairs in India is Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization, which was formerly known as department of explosives and is entrusted with the administration of Explosives Act1884 and in service of the nation since 1898 with its Safety First Motto. Its last twelve year’s data of reported explosion accidents occurred in India are scientifically analyzed to draw the conclusions and recommendations were offered based on the inferred results with directions for future research, which is to be further explored in light of the available primary data by developing high end explosion scenarios to save the lives of high explosives stake holders from the future inferno of explosion accidents happening frequently in India, in spite of having quite intensive inspections mechanism and taking all due care and adopting all effective and preventive measures to avoid any explosion accident during the process of manufacturing, storage, transport, handling, possession for sale or use of commercial high explosives and manufactured fireworks in India. Confidently it is expected that the suggested recommendations will prove to be a mile stone in establishing the explosion resilient society for explosion mitigation and reducing the risk of disaster amongst commercial explosives stake holders of India and will inflame statutory authorities and law enforcing agencies to act wisely in the interest of people safety to avert apocalyptic situation like Beirut.

In order to promote the development of the local homestay industry in ancient towns, it is recommended that homestays and cultural industries be integrated and developed. Through the forms of homestay + regional culture, homestay+ digitalization, homestay + brand culture, etc., promote the transformation and upgrading of the homestay industry, broaden the homestay industry chain, and promote the integration of tourism and regional economy in the ancient town.
