The video, which has been watched over 112 million times and liked by 6 million people, shows a group of IIT Dhanbad students lighting a firecracker and putting it under a plastic drum for a Diwali stunt. They quickly run away as the drum blows up, sending it flying into the sky.
Some people have complimented the students for being creative and clever, but others have criticized them for their dangerous actions. Many have mentioned the risks of doing such tricks, especially after a recent sad event in Nalanda where a 15-year-old boy died while trying a similar stunt.

The IIT Dhanbad Diwali Stunt Video Brings Up Several Issues
Safety risks: Using firecrackers and explosives is very risky, and accidents can happen quickly.
Environmental impact: Burning firecrackers causes air and noise pollution, which can harm people’s health and the environment.
Social responsibility: As students from a well-known school, IIT Dhanbad students should set a good example and encourage responsible actions.
We should celebrate Diwali carefully and responsibly. By avoiding risky activities and choosing eco-friendly options. We can make sure everyone can enjoy the celebrations without putting themselves or others in danger.
