The AAP leader remarked: "Bursting firecrackers leads to pollution, and pollution affects everyone. By avoiding pollution, we aren’t just benefiting others; we’re also doing ourselves a favor."
According to a police source, a ban on bursting fire crackers is underway in the National Capital, failing to which, the violators were to be fined or jailed. But, despite the provision of punishment the implementation failed miserably.
Last week, amid projections of worsening pollution in Delhi-NCR, the Supreme Court held that only green crackers would be sold in Delhi-NCR this Diwali.
