Delhi news: Petitioners, Shiva Fireworks, and Jai Mata Stores, in their plea, said that the air quality in Delhi has been “moderate” since August 15 and there was no occasion to impose a ban even on the use of green crackers.
In a blatant disregard to the state government s ban, the people in Delhi were openly seen bursting crackers, thereby contributing to the already poor air quality in the national capital.
Relief from air pollution can be achieved only by the influence of two weather factors. One of them is heavy rain and the other is continuous strong winds from the same direction. Right now, there is no chance of rain, but the good news is that from November 6, strong winds will blow from the north-west direction, which can give a lot of relief from air pollution.
The bursting of firecrackers on the occasion of Diwali amid increased farm fires caused severe destruction to the air quality and led to low visibility in the national capital on Friday morning.
