More than 30 people died in firecracker-related incidents across India on Diwali night, anchor Syed Suhail says in a short news preview. NDTV India, the Hindi-language channel of India's New Delhi Television network, centers the clip on the deaths rather than the festival's celebrations.
Suhail describes a fatal incident in Delhi in which a rocket firecracker struck a child in the chest after being lit. He then gives the nationwide death toll, without breaking it down by location or identifying the authorities behind the total.
The clip also previews coverage of an Indian state's ban on aerial firecrackers. It does not name the state or explain the scope of the restrictions. This is a studio introduction to promised coverage, not a detailed account of the individual incidents.
A Hindu festival of lights, also celebrated in Jainism and Sikhism. It usually lasts five or six days and falls between mid-October and mid-November.
