Deepawali, fire-crackers ensue fire in various places

Navin Singh - Crackers should be allowed in Nepal

Crackers should be allowed in Nepal to celebrate the Deepawali. Nepal has no
crackers manufacturing unit in Nepal and also not allowed to bring the crackers
from India. Deepawali is a festival of Lights and Crackers. Without crackers its
like Sabzi without salt.
I don't like to celebrate Deepawali in Nepal. I do
celebrate in India, eventhough I am Nepali.

Mukhtar Ansari - Deepawali-a festival of deep (light) not of fire

Deepawali is a festival to worship and to make happy the 'Godess Lakshmi'. In
deepawali, believers light the candle or diyo around their home as well as
inside to attract the 'Godess Lakshmi-the Godess of dhan or money'. But the
trend of celeberating the festival wirh firecrakers which is the cause of taking
lives of people and destroying the properties worth millions every year should
be controlled and discourased.Those who celeberate in such a way-Do you think
that the 'Godess of Ghan' will be happy with destruction of 'Jan & Dhan' on the
occasion? Certanly, not.

Such cases may be every year as shown as past years as well in India too.So in
my point of view:-

1.Local administration should be alert to every houses
elder or members.Before festival.
2.Schools are also a way,though children will
mayn't serious.But little bit must benefit.
3.Minimise in naked light.Thanks.

Shane - le Edit

I feel the article le is misleading. Although I do agree with you that
fire-crackers are a nuisance during Dashain, two third of the incidents you have
reported are caused by candles used during Deepawali. The le is attention
grabbing and meant for a good cause, but accuracy and honesty is what we expect
from a leading news source.

Chiran - Is it really worth it?

Its time now Nepali people start acting rationally and stop indulging themself
in dangerous activities in name of tradition and festival like lighting candles,
'diyo' and firecrakers. Burning candles all around the house perimeter can no
way be considered safe no matter how careful people can be, espcially when such
activities involves young childerns.

Agreed that those lights look really
beautiful, but is it really worth the highly probable aftermath of it.

If we
really have to we might wanna consider safer subsutes like electric lights.
