Kanpur, Oct. 22 -- Six people, including a two-year-old girl, were injured when a carbide cylinder used by a balloon seller exploded at a Ravan Dahan mela in Kanpur's Dharipurwa late on Tuesday night. The DCP (South) Deependra Nath Chowdhary said, "The balloon seller was hiding the cylinder inside the divider and filling balloons with gas." Preliminary information suggested that the carbide cylinder had exploded due to excessive heat, he added. Indiscriminate firing at a Devi pandal in Pipraunda village, shortly after Ravan Dahan on Tuesday night, left two people injured in Maudaha of Hamirpur district. The injured, identified as Vardani and Salman, were taken to the community health centre. CO Maudaha Rajkumar Pandey said that police had received information about a dispute between two groups. Though firing was reported during the confrontation, medical examinations had not confirmed firearm injuries in either of the injured persons. Doctors said both were out of danger, he added.htc...
