Shortcoming of Festivals.
Although there are many interesting things people can get from the festivala, there are also some disadvantages.
The first thing is that it is normally very costly to celebrate a festival. Due to the fact that most festival aim to preserve and develop the traditional cultural heritages, the government is willing to spend a lot of money on this occasion. Besides, during the festival, most people do not work and only spend money on preparing food and buying expensive gifts for their ralatives and friends. That’s also a reason why it is said that a festival is often costly.
The second disadvantages is unsafe during a festival. It is estimated that there are hundred accidents during a festival, particularly road accidents. There are many dangerous festivals like cow- racing, elephant racing which may be very dangerous for people, especially for children. Moreover, in some fetival, when rushing to join the events, people may also cause other people to get hurt.
The last disadvantage is festivals may affect the environment seriously. People tend to throw away waste cans or bottles after a festival. Furthermore, trees along the roadsides may be damaged by the aprticipants. Noise pollution is result from the noise of the performances and the noise from the crowds.

Pollution has become a major environmental issue as it has created lots of health hazards to the people and animals of any age group. In the recent years the rate of pollution is increasing very sharply because of the industrialized waste material mixing out directly into the soil, air and water. However, in our country full attention is not getting paid to control it. It needs to be tackle seriously otherwise our future generations would suffer a lot.
Pollution is classified into many categories according to the natural resources getting affected such as air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, etc. Rate of pollution is increasing due to the selfishness of the human being to earn more money and to fulfill some unnecessary wishes. In the modern era where technological advancement is given more priority by the people, everyone has forgotten the real discipline of life.
Continuous and unnecessary cutting down of the forests, urbanization and large production through industrialization has involved as a huge causes of the pollution. Harmful and poisonous wastes created from such activities causes irreversible changes to the soil, air and water which ultimately push lives towards pain. This big social issue needs a public level social awareness programme to destroy by its root to get complete relief.
Pollution is the mixing of some harmful or poisonous materials into the natural resources available on the earth. It affects the ordinary living of the living things on this planet by disturbing the natural life cycle. Pollution can be of many types like noise pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution, etc. Air pollution is increasing day by day because of the growing number of automobiles, release of poisonous gases, smoke from industrial companies, finely dissolved solids, liquid aerosols, etc in the atmosphere. The air we breathe every moment causes several lungs disorders.
In this way soil and water pollution is also cause by the mixing up of the sewage water (having germs, viruses, harmful chemicals, etc) in drinking water, some dangerous agrochemicals such as pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, organic compounds like ether, benzene, some radioactive materials including radium and thorium, solid wastes (industrial ashes, rubbish, garbage), etc. We need to follow all the control measures implemented by the government to check its harmful effects.
