In the wake of a heart-wrenching incident involving the death of a three-day-old baby during Divali celebrations, there has been a renewed and urgent call for the outright ban of fireworks. The infant reportedly succumbed to trauma caused by the deafening explosions of fireworks, raising serious concerns about the societal tolerance for such practices. The incident has sparked a fierce debate about the ethical implications of allowing fireworks, especially when they pose significant risks to public health and safety. Critics argue that the justification for fireworks as a short-term celebration is indefensible, likening it to condoning harmful actions if they occur within a limited timeframe. The lack of responsible usage and the inability of law enforcement to effectively manage the chaos further exacerbate the issue. This incident underscores a broader societal problem of lawlessness and irresponsibility, which undermines core values such as discipline and tolerance. The author passionately advocates for a complete ban on fireworks, urging religious leaders, medical professionals, educators, and other societal figures to join the movement and amplify their voices in this critical matter.
