Over 150 people, mostly children, hospitalized after using banned carbide guns at Diwali, with 14 blinded.
Over 150 people, mostly children, were hospitalized in Madhya Pradesh after using banned carbide guns during Diwali, with at least 14 losing their sight.
The devices, made from plastic pipes, gas lighters, and calcium carbide, explode when water and a spark are added, causing severe eye and facial injuries from shrapnel and toxic fumes.
Despite a government ban issued October 18, the weapons remained widely available at markets and fairs, fueling a social media-driven trend.
Families blamed authorities for lax enforcement and demanded bans, compensation, and accountability.
Doctors stressed the devices are not toys but explosive hazards requiring urgent medical care.
