During Diwali 2026, carbide gun sales have sparked safety concerns in Susner, Madhya Pradesh. Residents are demanding a ban on the sale and use of these guns due to the potential harm they can cause to children and young people.
Vendors from outside the area reportedly sell a large number of carbide guns during the festival. The guns, which produce a loud explosion when fired, can lead to injuries if not handled carefully. Accidents can occur when children use them without proper safety precautions, especially when fired close to the face or near bystanders.
Similar incidents were reported during Diwali last year, further emphasizing the need for stricter measures. The administration and relevant departments are urged to monitor markets and vendors selling carbide guns, implementing actions in accordance with the rules. Parents are also encouraged to educate their children about the risks associated with carbide guns.
Susner station house officer Anil Malviya stated that the sale of carbide guns is being monitored. He appealed for anyone found selling them to report it promptly, so that necessary action can be taken as per the rules.
