Cracker Pollution

The air quality index in most of the 40 monitoring stations in Delhi remained in the "very poor" category.

Diwali brings us a lot to celebrate, but what it also brings with it are more concentrated levels of pollutants and particulate matter. So here are a few easy ways to have a fun-filled Diwali without any kind of pollution.

The air quality in Delhi and nearby cities reached hazardous levels a day after Diwali with the widespread violation of the firecracker ban across the National Capital Region (NCR) on Sunday raising pollution concerns.

A thick layer of smog engulfed the national capital after people burst crackers on Diwali night, leading to heavy pollution all across the city, which is already battling with its deteriorating air quality.

A stringent enforcement of the ban on firecrackers holds the promise of delivering the best air quality on Diwali day in eight years for Delhi on Sunday.

The video, which has angered internet users, shows the man lighting up black snake fireworks in pellet form in the middle of the railway track.

The Delhi government has decided to reimpose the ban on the manufacturing, sale, storage and use of all kinds of firecrackers in the capital as part of an action plan to reduce pollution levels in winter, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said on Monday

Delhi's air quality turned 'very poor'this morning as people in several parts of the city burst firecrackers on Diwali night, defying the ban.

A large number of high-decibel firecrackers thundered throughout Diwali night on Monday as people in Delhi flouted the ban imposed on these by the city government.

A day before Diwali, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi has been around 250, which is the poor category.

Delhi Environment Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Gopal Rai today said that the Delhi government has banned the production, storage, sale, and bursting of crackers this year as well with fines and jail terms in case of violation.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin today urged his Delhi counterpart, Arvind Kejriwal, to allow the sale of firecrackers as the livelihoods of lakhs of workers in the firecracker manufacturing industry in the state were at stake.

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari has moved the Supreme Court against the Delhi government's decision against production, storage, sale and use of all types of firecrackers in order to check the rising pollution levels in the city.

Delhi and neighbouring cities were blanketed by toxic air for the third straight day after the ban on crackers was widely violated on Diwali.
