Salute to these Safety Men; who will NEVER STOP!

For those who could not afford to read this, for those who are out there still working while you are still sitting here and reading this on your computer screens and cell phones. There are many for whom their work is their utmost priority leaving behind all the friends, families and festivals. The ones who look after us and work day and night selflessly in dangerous situations and put their life at risks at any hour for our betterment and safety; the policeman, the Indian defence services, and the disaster management crew.

Every year, we celebrate Diwali at our homes with our family and friends, this is the result of endless duty that these young energetic men put in. While we are at our homes, there are people on the border guarding us, there are people sitting at the fire stations and hospitals who are ready to serve us when emergency hits. Every year, many unfortunate accidents occur but thanks to the fire department, the medical department of India and the emergency crew for handling everything. While we pay our gratitude to these selfless good humans of society, we must ensure that we do not give them any extra work this year. It is our duty as well to be safe and celebrate this Diwali with oil lamps of beautiful colour and shapes.

Celebrating joy is never putting your life at risk

Take in extra caution and place them at safe places. Crackers must be avoided as they are the perfect source of noise and air pollution. They also are a big reason for burning injuries and accidents. Let’s take a pledge to avoid crackers and injuries and let’s not give ourselves and these people a chance to confer pain on such a beautiful festival. Not only Diwali, but all the festival must be celebrated with their true essence. The upcoming new year must not be a day of rash driving and road accidents. Celebrating joy is never putting your life at risk.

This year should be a year of change by celebrating a safe Diwali and all the upcoming festivals. Also, take a moment to wish these fellow humans who have given their precious time through endless hours of service year after year without failing even once.

Lets lit one lamp each for the long lives, health and prosperity of these men who have been in continuous service of humanity.
