Diwali, the festival of colours and one of the most awaited festivals of the country has already started splurging its colours all over India with shopping centers, small bazaars and firecracker stores overflowing with revellers from all age groups. People are leaving no stone unturned to shop for the festive season.
Festival shopping is in full swing in different parts of the city as apparels, novelties and fireworks outlets offer tempting discounts. This year, the new variety of firecrackers is a huge attraction among Diwali revellers.
The strategy to market fireworks is changing with times. This festive season, fireworks dealers have arranged special exhibitions for patrons to buy the firecrackers at a lower price compared to the retail price in the local market. ” Diwali is getting advanced technologically with markets getting flooded with new types of firecrackers. New arial comets, crackers of different color combinations, technologically advanced gun rebutters, are the highest sought firecrackers in the market. People have already started shopping for crackers well in advance taking into consideration the crowd and the rush for the festival.
This year we have expanded the concept of Diwali shopping to an extravagant note by introducing “Mega Firework Mela” wherein people can come down with their family and shop for the crackers. The crackers over here are sold at a low rate compared to that of the market rate. This year there is a huge demand for eco- friendly firecrackers. This is the seventh year of this exhibition and there are about 850 different types of firecrackers for the people to choose. Along with this we offer people free entry as well as free parking space. The response for the exhibition is excellent and is about 20% more as compared to last year. This is the largest exhibition in India as far as Diwali crackers are concerned,” said Altaf Dawoodani, owner of Fireworks Magic.
Firecrackers of different sizes, colors and types are becoming a craze amongst the children. People are preferring firecrackers with low sound and low emission levels of hazardous gases, for this festive season. Many shopkeepers in and around India brought in spectacular stuff to attract people belonging to all age groups. Aerial comets, guns, low sound bombs, etc are the new additions to the collections of fireworks, which have a huge demand in the market.
The first thing to remember is that fireworks in India are mostly made in highly unregulated and unsupervised manufactories. Naturally, therefore, they often burn or explode in unexpected ways.
Next, letting off fireworks on Diwali night is something that we all, especially children, love to do – unlike in the West where fireworks are generally set off by trained pyrotechicians. Finally, we do not usually keep emergency supplies available where accidents are likely.
What are the usual ways in which people get injured on Diwali night?
