    This could have easily avoided if certain rules and precautions were followed.We say children dont play with fire.Same applies to grown up babies too.Always when fire crackers and loud explosives to be cracked ,see that no children or persons nearby or have a big distance to fire.Dont allow to play with it.And most important only experienced persons do that.Kindly see if such rules were followed or not now.Very very sad four lives were lost .Hope to no more in future.Police should make inquiries and compansate their home people.May their souls rest in peace.One more thing we need not pour oil to the fact of previous religious nonselling fact.
