Why Firecracker Factory Blasts Are Common in India: Risks, Lapses

Why Firecracker Factory Blasts Are Common in India: Risks, Lapses

Published by Parlour News

Over the course of three days this week, southern India saw two separate firecracker accidents that killed dozens of people. On Tuesday (April 21), at least 14 people were killed in Kerala’s Thrissur district after two explosions, seconds apart, ripped through a firework assembly unit. The incident, which came days ahead of the Thrissur Pooram festival, prompted the state government to scrap the annual event’s famed fireworks display.  And on Sunday (April 19), a massive explosion at a fireworks factory in Tamil Nadu’s Virudhunagar district left at least 23 people dead. Virudhunagar manufactures 90% of the fireworks in India.  The cause of the explosions is unclear. The Kerala government Wednesday ordered a judicial probe into the Thrissur incident. In the Virudhunagar incident, investigators are expected to examine potential safety lapses or mishandling of combustible chemicals. India regularly sees explosions in firecracker factories. In the firework manufacturing hub of Virudhunagar, for instance, over a hundred people reportedly died in firecracker unit accidents between 2022 and mid-2025. While part of the reason for such accidents lies in …

Why the New Delimitation Plan Risks Alienating Southern States

Why the New Delimitation Plan Risks Alienating Southern States

Published by Parlour News

In an extended Budget Session next week, Parliament is slated to take up amendments to operationalise women’s reservation in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, a welcome reform that has long commanded broad consensus. The foundation of this reform was laid through the Constitution (106th Amendment) Act, 2023, which introduced provisions reserving one-third of the seats in these bodies and also linked their implementation to a future Census (effectively 2027) and the delimitation exercise that would follow. This was consistent with the existing constitutional framework governing representation in Lok Sabha, where seats are allocated among states based on population, and constituencies are periodically redrawn to reflect demographic change. By tying reservation to this process, the Amendment ensured that the introduction of reserved seats would take place within an updated and internally consistent representational structure. The proposed amendments are expected to depart from this framework in two important respects. First, they are likely to increase the size of the Lok Sabha (from 543 to 816) to accommodate the one-third reservation for women. Second, they may delink the …

4 US Military Options, Risks, Public Opinion

Published by Parlour News

Over four weeks after the United States and Israel attacked Iran in a bid to degrade its nuclear program and set in motion a regime change, there is still little certainty around its endgame. At various points, US President Donald Trump has claimed that victory was imminent and that the US had largely met its objectives, even as Iran has pushed back at statements about the two countries engaging in negotiations. An Axios report said earlier this week that the White House and the Pentagon are now “considering sending at least 10,000 additional combat troops to the Middle East in the coming days, according to a senior U.S. defense official.” The Wall Street Journal first reported the story, citing ⁠Department of Defense officials. More reinforcements, “including several fighter jet squadrons and thousands of troops, are expected to arrive in the Middle East in the coming days and weeks,” Axios said. While there is no confirmation of putting boots on the ground, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that Iranian forces are “waiting for …

Why 1 in 5 Men Face Osteoporosis Risks

Published by Parlour News

4 min readNew DelhiMar 28, 2026 01:00 AM IST Bone loss doesn’t happen overnight, but the problem is, it rarely announces itself clearly. In men, especially, the early signs are subtle, easy to dismiss, and often ignored until a fracture forces attention. While osteoporosis is often seen as a woman’s condition, Dr J V Srinivas, Lead Senior Consultant – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, Aster RV Hospital, notes that men are just as vulnerable. In fact, osteoporotic fractures affect one in five men over the age of 50; yet many cases go undiagnosed because men are less likely to undergo routine bone density testing. DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to. Always consult your health practitioner before starting any routine. Subtle signs men tend to overlook Men experience gradual bone loss because they develop no clear indicators of the condition until a fracture occurs, which usually affects the hip, spine or wrist (Image: Pexels) One of the earliest signs is a gradual loss of height. “The body …

Experts Warn About Risks and Safer Alternatives

Stand-up comedian Rahul Dua and his wife, Nidhi Tyagi, recently revealed that they began doing a water fast twice a month. “Starting 2026, Rahul and I decided to do a 24-hour water fast twice a month. And so far, we have only successfully done it twice,” Nidhi noted on her Instagram. Admitting the challenge, she mentioned, “And today is the day. I survived the morning without my chai! Baby food bhi tempting lagta hai (Even baby food looks tempting)”. Why water fast? “Because our bodies need detox from our painfully self-sabotaging eating habits. Fasting gives your digestive system a break and triggers something called autophagy,” continued Nidhi. She added that during the fast, one has to restrict themselves to plain water, black coffee, green tea, black tea, herbal tea or electrolytes if needed. DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to. Always consult your health practitioner before starting any routine. So, we asked experts whether it is advisable. Doctors caution that the body already has natural detox systems …
