The Supreme Court had sharp words for Delhi Police and demanded "immediate action" to stop the sale and bursting of firecrackers in the city - an annual activity that defies an existing ban - even days after Diwali, observing sharply that "no religion encourages pollution". The exact quote of the court - "No religion encourages any activity which creates pollution. If firecrackers are burst in this fashion, it also affects the fundamental right to health of the citizens," The court also demanded the Delhi government take a decision on a permanent ban on firecrackers - Will this finally be enforced? Can it be enforced? This is the question we ask on Left, Right & Centre.
