Time for bursting crackers on Diwali reduced by 1 hour, High Court order

Mumbai After the rains, the people of Delhi have got relief from pollution. However, reports are saying that the pollution level may increase once again after Diwali. This time, pollution troubled people not only in the capital Delhi but also in Mumbai. In view of this, the Bombay High Court made a big comment and reduced the time for bursting crackers on Diwali from three to two hours. Justice DK Upadhyay said, let it remain Mumbai, do not let it become Delhi. Let us tell you that in some places in Mumbai also the air quality has reached very poor levels.

The bench of Justices Arif Doctor and DK Upadhyay reduced the time for bursting crackers on Diwali in view of the air pollution situation. The court said that there is a need to take strict steps to improve the air quality in the city. The court had earlier given permission to burst firecrackers from 7 pm to 10 pm, but it was amended to 8 pm to 10 pm. In view of the situation, the court has maintained its decision of November 6 and continued the ban on vehicles carrying garbage and debris.

Now after November 19, the Municipal Corporation will decide whether to allow garbage trucks or not. The bench said that it is necessary to study the cause and solution of this pollution with the help of experts. The court said that it is not an expert in this matter. Advocate General Birendra Saraf assured that the government will take this matter seriously and take necessary steps. The court said that the improvement in air is due to rain. The government did not do any work in this direction.
