SAFE DIWALI

CELEBRATE DIWALI SAFELY:

Diwali is the festival of light and happiness. We must keep safety in mind along with enjoyment. We as responsible citizen must think of society, animals and most importantly about the environment. Though Diwali is a festival of light but must of us burst crackers with sound and celebrate the festival of sound and air pollution. Though there is a fixed level of a decibel of sound by the court even police are active in vigilance, people hardly bother any kind of rules and regulations.
But if you don't follow some safety measures, the festival of light and turn into a disaster and all happiness will be vanished. The chemical used in crackers is very harmful to us and our environment.
When one exceeds the recommended level of sound, it becomes annoying and irritating. From infants to aged people(especially those who are unwell)suffer a lot. This kind of loud sound crackers not only effects our heart it also effects our ear. Our eardrum can rapture due to this loud noisy crackers. Even many of the students have their exams, and their studies are hampered. Animals can't speak but they too get scared.
While thinking of safety - Fire is a major concern. Many get injured while bursting crackers, one needs to be more cautious about the fire. This is the most dangerous. Before bursting crackers, one must prepare themselves with some precautions like :

  • Keeping a bucket of sand and also a bucket of water nearby.
  • One must burst crackers in open space.
  • One must wear full sleeve tight fitted clothes.
  • Never wear synthetic or silk clothes while bursting crackers, wear only cotton clothes.
  • Keep burnol kind of ointment handy.
  • Anyone with breathing problems must wear a mask. Using a mask will help them to get rid of the smoke.
  • Always lit a cracker from a safe distance.
  • Throw burnt crackers, sparkles in one corner or at the allotted place where no one goes.
  • Burst crackers in groups as in case if anything happens others can help.
  • We have to keep in mind electrical wires.
  • Don't wear contact lenses while bursting crackers.
  • Never rub your eyes while bursting crackers.
  • Instead of oil diyas electrical lights are safer to avoid fire.
  • Always wash hands properly with soap after bursting crackers.
Please save the environment. Think before buying too many crackers.
Love animals.
Think of aged people and infants.
HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE DIWALI !!!!!
