💨 Abstract

The Delhi government has imposed a ban on firecrackers in the city from October 14 to January 1 to curb air pollution. The ban, which includes online sales, has been met with criticism from the Delhi BJP, who question the rationale and scientific evidence behind the annual restriction. Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai urged residents to support the ban and cited dust pollution, transport emissions, and biomass burning as major sources of pollution in the city.
