Yes,I think that bursting fire crackers should be banned.I believe that restriction on a particular thing can't be done suddenly,in the same way you can't put restriction on fire crackers suddenly. Every year some small-small restrictions to burst fire crackers should be done to reduce pollution.



Well Ronark, I appreciate your concern and view in the present group discussion and nice to learn from your post that you too think the same way as I do...!

Now, about the latter part of your post I agree with you that even vehicles also are equally responsible for environmental pollution (either sound or air) and I believe much has been done to curb the menace and much needs to be done in future too but simply we cannot ban it because it is our everyday necessity. We cannot imagine a day without vehicles but burning fire crackers is not our necessity or priority it is rather done for pleasure or some sort of emotional satisfaction and hence could come under the category of banning for the mutual benefit of one and all...!

I didnt mean that every one should help poor. but most of the people on diwali spend 5000 or 10,000 ruppes. but they can even celebrate the festival by purchasing crackers of 500 rs also. why to waste that much money. they can use remaining money in serving poor so that God will also be about this

Well friends, I believe I might have sounded a bit blunt and sharp for asking a complete ban on explosives like fire crackers. But it is just my sheer concern for the safety and well being of the people in general and in turn to the environment which has led me to write so. Apart from this, I had also been an eye-witness to a number of real life situations or tragedies related with evils of burning crackers which has direct or indirect impact in my life.

I still remember the new year eve in my teens, when the thirteen year old son of my neighbor , Mr. Saxena, was hit by an explosive on the upper part of his forehead and suffered a brain hemorrhage and later on succumbed to death. It was a passive case as he was only a by stander when this tragic incidence took place. There are several other real life tragedies similar to this which we come across very often happens mostly during Diwali, New year etc.

The bottom line is that we cannot risk more lives like this any more neither do we have any right to destroy the balance of our environment for the sake of our own pleasure. Hence, for the well being and safety of our society I expressed my view of a complete ban.

Without any doubt, I agree with some members that in our country rules, laws and bans are not followed and even broken on circumstances. But that doesn't mean that we should stop thinking or trying out ways for the betterment of people in general or society. In this context, I would like to mention that when plastics were banned earlier no heed was taken by the people and they were on their way of using it but I bet that now it is not being used by them in the proportion that it was used by them earlier. So we could remain hopeful for the future, if any such changes that would come across in front of us sooner or later, would be accepted by the people..!

In my opinion there should be a ban on fire-crackers. I do know in a land where religious sentiments soar high, people may not agree. But fire crackers not only harm the environment, it hampers the society as well.

A. Bursting fire crackers make people very vulnerable to damages that often have proved life threatening and sometimes fatal.

B. Fire cracker industries breed social evils like child labor and unfair wages.

C. The crackers are priced exorbitantly.

Apart from these it doesn't need to be debated for the neagative impact it has on health and nature.
