Madhya Pradesh: 14 Children Lose Vision While Playing With 'Carbide Gun' On Diwali
Every Diwali brings a new trend in firecrackers, from chakris to rockets to sparklers, but this year's craze has turned deadly. The so-called "carbide gun" or "desi firecracker gun," which children are calling the latest Diwali must-have, has emerged as a nightmare for parents and doctors.
In just three days, more than 122 children across Madhya Pradesh have been admitted to hospitals with severe eye injuries, while 14 have lost their eyesight.
