New Delhi: Diwali was celebrated with great pomp all over India, but on this Diwali, pollution levels increased in many regions of the country. Seeing the rising pollution, the Supreme Court and the NGT had prohibited the burning of firecrackers in the entire country and said in its decrees that green firecrackers can be burnt for only 2 hours in the state where the air quality is good. Disregarding all these instructions on Diwali, firecrackers were fired in the states of Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and North India including Delhi-NCR. After that, people started having trouble breathing again and the complaints of headaches increased.
The air of the capital Delhi has reached severe conditions. The fireworks on Diwali night further deteriorated Delhi's air quality. The Air Quality Index reached 999 in many areas of Delhi. The entire night of Diwali was wrapped in a sheet of Delhi pollution. On the other hand, in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Haryana, and Punjab too, there were big fire crackers of the ban, due to which people also had to face visibility.
Firecrackers were banned in 13 districts of Uttar Pradesh, but in these districts, firecrackers broke on the night of Diwali. The effect of this was that the air quality index reached 881 in the capital Lucknow, although it reached the level of 427 on Sunday morning. In Kanpur, there were rappers of firecrackers in the morning.
