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.
