Diwali and Firecrackers Over the Years!
Flying Lanterns
Once lit and left into the air, the sky looked pretty with these floating lanterns. Though Flying Lanterns made no noise and did not give out excessive smoke they had to be banned. Once these pretty lanterns were left they floated wherever the wind took them and they could land just about anywhere, on people or building causing damages and fires. The Flying Lanterns will be missed by many
The Beetle Leaf Cracker
The Beetle Leaf Cracker looks like a beedi. The problem with this cracker was that once it was lit no one knew in what direction the cracker would go. There were instances when the cracker actually turned on to the user and caused them to suffer from burn injuries. A number of accidents, fires and losses to property have occurred because of the Beetle Leaf Cracker. So the government decided to ban this from the market.
