'Banned' Carbide Guns Maimed MP Kids This Diwali

Imagine some kids found a way to make a really loud 'pop' sound for Diwali by mixing two simple things, like a special powder and water, in a pipe.

It was like a toy gun that made a big noise and some sparks.

This became super popular because people shared videos online, and suddenly everyone wanted one.

Stores on the street and in markets started selling them.

Sadly, using these homemade 'guns' caused serious harm.

Many children, mostly between 10 and 25 years old, got burned.

Some even lost their eyesight permanently because the explosions were too strong and damaging to their eyes.

Doctors treated many children, and they say this could have all been avoided if the dangerous toys weren't used.
