Fire engulfs Jammu’s Nehru Market, guts around 12 shops

Fire engulfs Jammu’s Nehru Market, guts around 12 shops

What's behind this

During Diwali in Guwahati, the loud celebrations have prompted alarm over the impact of firecrackers on local birds and animals, with the Forest Department lacking data on wildlife and activists questioning whether firecracker‑free zones are being properly enforced. At the same time, insurance data from Star Health shows that burn‑related claims in the Diwali quarter (Q3, October–December) were 28% above the average of the other three quarters in FY26, compared with a 19% rise in FY25, and the insurer has issued simple safety steps and first‑aid guidance for burns and eye injuries, urging prompt medical help.
