Air turned toxic in Delhi

Diwali is a celebration of light and a festival that millions of Hindu celebrate. But every year the news around the next morning of Diwali remains the same. Smog, pollution, and firecrackers form the headlines of newspapers across the country. This year too the story is the same. Despite the government’s ban on burning firecracker; many families burned them. This has made the air quality in Delhi rise to the extreme and the AQI in the region was 451(severe) in the morning. 

At several locations, firecrackers were burnt and there was a complete disregard towards the government’s ban. Government too seems to have shown leniency as it didn’t implement any strict policy. A mere ban on the burning of firecrackers wouldn’t do anything.One can't out of nowhere prevent individuals from accomplishing something they have been accomplishing for quite a long time. Burning crackers is inseparable from Diwali and consequentially to stop it the public authority should boycott the creation of fireworks in India and make it difficult for individuals to get.That’s the only solution to this mayhem. Or else every year we’d only be writing op-eds on pollution, firecrackers, etc. and nothing would come out of it. Burning firecrackers is extremely harmful and that too at such a large scale.
