Following the peaceful and
sorted Durga Puja that consists of the immersion of the goddess Durga in ponds
in the observance of High Court orders, the district administration is hoping
and requesting the mass of the state to maintain harmony and decorum while
making sure there is peace everywhere during the approaching festival of Diwali,
being considered as the most auspicious and well celebrated festival of the

The festive spirit of Diwali has always been high in people, as it is indeed known as one of the most imperative and well celebrated festival of the country. Each family, big or small, rich or poor celebrated this grand festival in their own individual method. There is a huge sales boost for the various elements that are purchased, cherished and enjoyed by the people of our country, during the celebrations.

We have been hearing about
the harmful effects of the crackers that are sold, purchased and used during
Diwali, but the noise and environment pollution still exists, while hampering
the stability of the atmosphere for days to come.
There are several ill effects
of bursting cracker and polluting our surroundings, buy making the animals and
thousands of birds die due to the same.
There are several children
who suffer from allergies due to this little perk that we enjoy. However this
being a completely individual choice, no one can be banned on buying, seeing or
bursting crackers yet, however we individually need to realize our surroundings
and initiate ourselves to do at least our bit. It’s high time we make our pick,
realize the importance of saying no to crackers, educate our children and
hereby lay the foundations of having a brighter and a safer future by asking them
to indulge into several other aspects and activities related to this grand
festival, rather than using and bursting crackers that our extremely dangerous
of us and all the living organisms around us.
Here is a list of things
we can ask our children to enjoy, instead to bursting crackers:
*Keep them engaged with
offering their favorite foods, and have a party.
*Kids love having, pizzas,
burgers, fries, cakes, muffins etc, so go easy on the sugar and let them delight
in their favorites this Diwali.
*Buy them an alternate
Diwali gift, instead of crackers, like toys, dresses, books, colors, games and
much more so that they spend their day being busy with it.
*Call a kids party at
home, put on a BAL Ganesha or any other animated movie for them on the LED
screen, offer their favorite movie time snacks like popcorn and nachos, while
they enjoy the films along with their friends and forget about crackers.
*Explain them the hazardous
effects of crackers and noise pollution.
*Ask their choice, this
would make them more independent and responsible for protecting the atmosphere around
them.
*Dance, sing, play and
entertain them, having a family dinner followed by a nice book story and cuddle
the night of Diwali, praying for your children and the entire family, doing
your bit for the environment.
