Diwali
is round the corner and we all are busy shopping for clothes, sweets, candles,
diyas and other puja materials at a feverish pace. But does the shopping list
also include crackers?
This
is a point to ponder for everyone, especially for children, as they are very
fond of bursting crackers.
Today
a special assembly was held at WIS, Bhilwara where students were made aware of
the ill-effects of bursting crackers during a festival associated with joy,
peace and prosperity.Teachers
explained them the danger of bursting crackers both health wise in terms of the
noise and air pollution it causes to the effect it has on children, who are
often engaged in manufacturing them, in an industry which is hazardous and
illegal if employing children. They were further told that pollution in
any form be it air pollution or noise pollution harms not only the environment
but also the health of people especially children, who suffer from asthma,
deafness, etc. Students also witnessed an exhibition of posters, which showed
harmful effects of burning crackers. Students were really moved with those heart provoking posters and took a pledge not to burn crackers on Diwali.
Ma’am
Principal encouraged the students to celebrate Diwali with colours, flowers,
sweets, rangoli etc.
