Meanwhile, the national capital territory Delhi is continually facing rising air pollution. Delhi’s air quality has deteriorated over the last several days, prompting the Delhi government to take measures to control air pollution, including busting firecrackers.
Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday asked Delhi residents to refrain from busting firecrackers and light diyas in Diwali, noting that Diwali is a festival of lights and not firecrackers.
AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, while speaking at a press conference, said, “Even the Supreme Court and High Court say that in view of the pollution, we should not burst crackers; we should light diyas. This is the festival of lights and not fireworks. It is not as if we are doing a favour to anybody. Whatever pollution will happen, our children will suffer from it, so there is no Hindu-Muslim in this. Everyone’s life is important.”
