CELEBRATE DIWALI –Responsibly: Spread Awareness and Happiness

Precaution and Safety During Diwali – The Festival of Lights and Prayers.

Diwali is the festival of lights, prayers, happiness and also people decorate houses and public buildings with lot of colourful lights and do visit each other to share good wishes on Diwali. This religious festival is celebrated all over India and in many countries of the world with fervor.

During this festival of Diwali other than religious ceremonies and prayer we witness a lot of lighting and fireworks. The lighting includes diyas (earthen pots filled with oil or clarified butter [ghee] and there is fire lit on it) , candles, electrical lighting.  We also see fanush (flying fire lights) and firecrackers.  In places there are temporary structures (pandals) are created with cloths, bamboo, tent material for people to assemble, eat and also for prayer and worship.

The presence of so much of things that are inflammable and fire calls for the need of adequate fire safety measures and firefighting equipment.

The high-rises in the urban area, more populated localities, roads and increase in density of population in rural area clubbed with road traffic restrictions, lack of freeways and more vehicles on road make it difficult for fire tenders (fire brigade) to reach the place of accident quickly. Medical help, doctors and ambulances may also take little more time depending on availability and road conditions.

HEPATITIS – Causes | Treatment | Symptoms | Prevention

HEPATITIS is an inflammatory condition of the liver in most cases caused by viral infections. There may be other reasons too.

 

Major functions of LIVER

  • Helps in digestion through production of bile
  • Helps filter toxins from the body
