|October 25, 2025
IN the aftermath of carbide guns inflicting severe eye injuries to around 300 people, mostly children and teenagers in Madhya Pradesh during Diwali, authorities have launched a crackdown against the seemingly harmless toys.
Collectors in Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior and Sagar districts have issued prohibitory orders under Section 163 BNSS, banning the assembling, sale and use of the guns.
According to the Bhopal district collector Kaushalendra Vikram Singh, "So far six FIRs have been registered against those involved in assembling and selling such guns. Fifty-five such guns have been seized from sellers, who don't have valid license to sell crackers."
