A ten-year-old boy lost his life in Delhi’s Narela area on Sunday night after a firecracker exploded in his hand.
The fatal accident occurred around nine forty-five in the evening during Diwali celebrations right outside the child’s home.
The boy was lighting a flower-pot firecracker, locally known as an Anar, when it suddenly burst without warning.
The violent blast struck the child directly in the chest, causing severe fatal trauma right on the spot.
Hospital officials reported the child dead upon arrival around ten-fifty in the evening with severe blast burn injuries.
Police officers immediately shifted the young boy’s body to the local mortuary for a formal post-mortem examination.
Authorities have launched a full legal investigation to examine the exact circumstances and the quality of the explosive.
This tragic death highlights the grave hazards of children handling dangerous festive pyrotechnics without adequate safety precautions.
Meanwhile, Delhi fire service officials responded to multiple separate major fire incidents across the national capital that same night.
A massive blaze tore through a multi-story hardware and paint establishment on Main Najafgarh Road in Uttam Nagar.
The sudden inferno quickly spread from the ground store to the upper floors of the three-storey commercial building.
Five emergency fire tenders rushed straight to the Uttam Nagar location and successfully contained the aggressive flames.
Another significant emergency broke out inside a commercial building basement in the Khidki sector of Malviya Nagar.
Eight fire engines deployed rapidly to the Malviya Nagar location to suppress the dark billowing basement flames.
Firefighters controlled both structural blazes efficiently, preventing any reported human casualties or physical injuries in these incidents.
