The Dos and Don`ts this Diwali
Diwali is just a day away, so let us know some Dos and Don'ts.
Dos:
Buy Fireworks from the licensed shop
Keep fireworks in a closed box and away from source of fire
Read and follow the safety precautions issued with the fire works
When bursting crackers, prefer open spaces like playgrounds and stand back while lighting the crackers. Also make sure that the crackers are at arm’s length
Be sure to discard used fireworks in a bucket of water
Wear cotton clothes which are close to your body
In case of burns, splash tap water and repeat the process till the burning sensation reduces
Incase of serious injuries, contact the Fire Brigade (Tel. No. 101), for getting the details of the doctors on duty
Don’ts:
Burning crackers in crowded, congested places, narrow lanes or inside the house is a strict no-no
Don’t let children burst crackers by themselves, there should always be an adult accompanying them
Many people indulge in covering crackers with tin containers or glass bottles for extra sound effect, but this can be extremely dangerous
Don’t dare to examine un-burst crackers! Light a new one instead
Think lighting crackers on own hands will make you a star? It may even leave you with some serious injuries
Avoid long loose clothes, especially clothes like Punjabi suits that have a long flowing chunni
Wish you all a Happy & Safe Diwali :)
