Nov 06, 2021 Jeevan Prakash Sharma Delhi AQI: Dr BS Murthy, Project Director at SAFAR, tells Outlook that bursting crackers during Diwali had led to a significant increase in air pollution in Delhi.

According to Environment Minister Gopal Rai, Delhi's base pollution has remained the same. Only two factors have been added, firecrackers and stubble burning.
The firecrackers were burst in the national capital in violation of the ban imposed by the government.
The two groups clashed and attacked each other with stones, following which two people were left injured, police said.
Electronic firecrackers are devices that can be operated through remote controls once plugged into an electricity source.
The Environment Minister of Delhi, Gopal Rai on Tuesday said to prevent the purchase, sale and burning of firecrackers, especially in the border areas, Delhi Police and SDMs have been asked to keep 24x7 vigil.
The apex Court’s ruling has come, following Calcutta High Court’s order to ban firecrackers during the festivals.
The apex court said: ‘all firecrackers were not banned. It was in larger public interest. There is a particular impression being created. It should not be projected that it was banned for particular purpose’.
The district administration has restricted assembly of more than four people in public place, carrying of firearms and other weapons, celebratory firing, and use of "Chinese manjha", or glass-coated kite string.
