SaralnamaA festive emergency utility kit for Diwali is now essential for Indian families. Dr. Sanchayan Roy, a senior consultant at Apollo Spectra Hospital in Delhi, recommends preparing a kit with 8 key items before the festival begins. The kit should include a first aid box, fire safety items, power backup, basic tools, safety gear, health essentials, emergency contact list, and items for children and elderly. Costing ₹1000-2000, this kit can prevent minor accidents from becoming major incidents during Diwali celebrations. Families should store the kit in an easily accessible place and review its contents annually. Dr. Roy advises seeking immediate medical help for severe burns, breathing difficulties, or excessive bleeding. (Updated 18 Oct 2025, 10:25 IST; source: link)
