Chinese Firecrackers

A man in southwest China doused himself with petrol and tied firecrackers around his waist because authorities cancelled his birthday banquet as a precaution against spreading the coronavirus.

Much of China's population can expect sub-standard sleep after the country starts ringing in the Year of the Monkey. The rat-a-tat snaps of firecrackers, whistling rockets and mortar-like fireworks with possibly enough gunpowder to down a small aircraft will make sure of that.

With the usage of Chinese crackers found to be affecting the quality of air in Delhi, the city government has asked the Centre to "continue with its ban" on them this year.

Hit hard by large-scale import of Chinese firecrackers to the state, an association to protect fireworks manufactures in Tamil Nadu has offered a Rs 10 lakh reward to anyone giving information on shipping containers carrying firecrackers from that country.

Thirteen middle school children were injured when an enraged man, upset by a court ruling in the murder of his daughter, rammed his car loaded with a gas tank and firecrackers into a group of 23 students in northern China, officials said on Tuesday.
