Looking at the child labour and the lives lost in fires in Sivakasi, we should bring down the bursting of crackers gradually. Although Deepavali without crackers cannot be visualised, we have to find a way out of it in due course.
Except for momentary fun Crackers burning is a total waste of money and time causing lot of noise and air pollution. The same money could be better utilized in sprucing up this Diwali with colorful rangoli, Colorful lights, eating healthy and tasty dishes, meeting loved ones and enjoying the festival in totality.
