It’s not a cracker of Diwali for firecracker sellers
Ludhiana, October 22 Pardeep Kumar, president of the Wholesale Cracker Association, Dana Mandi, said the sale had picked up to some extent but this Diwali had been the worst. Large stocks of firecrackers are still lying with the shopkeepers, he said. The cracker sale was much lower than the Rs 15-crore registered last year, he said. By the evening today, crackers worth only about Rs 6 crore had been sold, he added. Sanjay Singla, vice-president of the association, said there was very little footfall in the market. Most of the firecracker sellers would incur losses this year, he added. The sale scenario was even bleaker in other firecracker markets. Nirmal Singh Bittu, president of the cracker market at Dugri, said the sales were much lower than the previous year, he added. Already there are fewer stalls of firecrackers than the last this year. The sales at this point of time are only half the sales last year, he added. Dheeraj, another seller, said the festival falling at the fag end of the month had had its bearing on the cracker sales. Sales are generally good when the festival falls in the first half of the month, as people have enough money to spend from their salaries. Suresh Kumar, a bank employee, said he had exhausted most of his salary for the month. He was spending bare minimum on firecrackers. Gurbeer Singh, another stall owner, said there was an upswing in the sales late in the evening. They were pinning their hopes on Diwali day to break even. But it is going to be a bad Diwali for him, he said. Residents were buying inexpensive crackers and ‘dolas’, he added.

Residents in dilemma over sweets quality
Ludhiana, October 22 People are questioning the practice of collecting samples a couple of days before the festival as the test reports will be coming after a week or so. Strict action against offenders or the cancellation of their licences is what the residents are demanding from the authorities. “The owner’s act of not allowing the team to collect samples is a testimony to the fact that he was indulging in something wrong, due to which he did not want the samples to be collected. This was a bizarre incident and the owne should be taken to task by the authorities,” said Bhupinder Singh, a city resident. Hem Raj, a senior citizen, said the department concerned should heavily fine the offenders. “The licences of the shops, the samples of which have fail test twice, should be cancelled. The department should also heavily fined the offenders, so that they dare not play with the lives of people,” he said. Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Rajat Aggarwal said the sole purpose of collecting samples is to check adulteration. “Everything is on records with the department and a police case has also been registered against theowner of Sharma Sweets,” added the DC. The District Health Officer, Dr Abnash Kumar, said the department was working round the clock these days and collecting samples to make sure the quality of sweets sold during Diwali is good. Samples that failed quality test recently
Check it yourself
Milk: Add four or five drops of iodine to a few drops of milk. If it contains starch, the colour will turn blue. Khoya: Boil it with some water. Cool it and add a tincture of iodine to it. If blue colour appears, it means the khoya sample has starch. Ghee: Take a spoon of sugar and dissolve it in 10 ml of hydrochloric acid. Heat 10 ml of ghee or butter and add to the mixture. If it turns red, then the ghee/butter is adulterated. Silver foil used for garnishing: Rub the silver foil on your hands with the thumb. If it’s aluminium, it will stick to your hand. If it’s pure, then nothing will stick to the palm. Saffron: Put saffron shreds in a glass of water. If the colour runs instantly, then the saffron is adulterated. According to experts, saffron releases colour after a long time, and the colour is much stronger than that produced by adulterated saffron. |

Don’t let fireworks scare your pets
Ludhiana, October 22 Some animals may lose bladder or bowel control or experience temporary diarrhoea. Sometimes mischievous boys tie crackers around the tails of dogs or burn them by burning crackers thrown at them. Some animals get serious injuries and require prompt attention. To guard your pet from becoming terrified, you need to undertake some measures. Dr Dua suggested that when bursting fireworks on Diwali, the animals should be kept indoors, besides away from the smoke of crackers as it may cause severe respiratory distress. To make the pets feel safe and comfortable within the premises of a house, the curtains should be drawn and the TV or radio should be switched on to drown the sound of the crackers. A tired and well fed-dog will be far less anxious during the night. If the dog runs for its bed, a cupboard or under the bed, leave it there and allow it to follow its natural instinct. Do not soothe and comfort a scared dog, it will only increase the problem. Make sure your dog is well identified in case your dog escapes. GUARD THEM

NGO comes up with tips for safe DiwaliAnupam Bhagria
Ludhiana, October 22 Suggesting some ways to protect themselves in such an emergence situation, Kusam lata said: “One should immediately keep a wet handkerchief on the nose. It will retain carbon particles and provide oxygen to the victim.” If fire has occurred due to LPG, one should crawl as LPG remains on the ground level, suggests Kusam, adding that “if a person stands up or starts walking he or she may get engulfed in flames.” One should not pour water on the flame if it is due to oil as water being heavy goes down and oil comes up. So connection between air and oil does not cut off and fire flares up. One needs to be extra alert in case of fire if it is due to a short-circuit. “One should not use water to prevent electric shock, rather sand or fire extinguishers should be used in dousing the flames in case of a short-circuit.” Dr Sanjeev Uppal, head, plastic surgery department, Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, has suggested tips to be kept in mind while bursting crackers.
