The local people used these stones as gems and made jewelry items. They have earned around $355,000. One of them Hassan Beldek (30), after persuasion from his mother-in-law, went out to search for the stones from the Heavens. He did locate a stone weighing close to 1.5 kgs. When he went to the market, he got the offer of US $120,000 but turned down the proposal. He believes that much higher price would be easily procurable for these meteorite stone. Beldek had initially found small pieces and later on he searched and found a bigger piece of the meteorite of larger than a man’s fist size.

In past few years,  the use of selfie stick has increased considerably for getting a better and detailed view. The stick adds to the arm’s length to capture more area. Because the stick obstructs the view of the others, it increases the conflict and dispute amongst the crowds. Disney has banned and did not permit the use of the stick in its parks all over the world. Disney policy declares that for the fondness of any gadget should not the cause trouble or make others uneasy and uncomfortable at any time. Many countries have banned its use in the soccer grounds and also other sports activities.
