Come Diwali festival and the market is full with crackers of different varieties. Many crackers produce colourful displays when they are lit. Today we have Chinese products available in the market which has attractive display for children. India has largest producer of crackers and fire works from Sivakasi situated in Tamil Nadu.
Many workers earn their livelihood by working in these factories. The workers endanger their life during the production of fire works which has harmful chemicals used. India should ban imported fire works from China which are available in open market and across the streets. Government should on other hand promote indian made fireworks and request citizens to buy local products which will provide income to the family members of factory workers.
Chinese products have dominated Indian market in toys and other materials which are of the 'use and discard' type. Indian should buy crackers and fireworks from Indian made brands and thus stop Chinese from entering the said market. It's in the hands of locals to promote and support the Indian products and discontinue or stop purchasing Chinese- made goods.
