New Delhi: In spite of the warnings, the citizens of Delhi burst a huge quantity of crackers on Diwali leading to a thick envelop of smoke in the capital. Compared to last year this time there were fewer fireworks, but the fear of smog came true and by evening smoke from crackers had an adverse impact on Delhi’s air.
As the night progressed it became very difficult to see due to thick smoke caused by the crackers. Even though several Delhi residents have expressed concerns over growing air pollution due to bursting of fire crackers and requested Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to keep a watch on air pollution in the city during Diwali, there was a massive increase in the smoke due to the crackers
The Delhi government had appealed to the city residents to avoid crackers. But people ignored the threat to environment due to crackers. The elderly, children and patients also suffered from the loud sound of the fireworks.
