ANI. Meanwhile, in the financial capital, Mumbai also has seen the air quality dropping to alarming levels this year.
People were spotted bursting firecrackers on Diwali night. Visuals from Shivaji Park showed revellers in large numbers lighting up crackers.
In the wake of the worsening air quality in the city, the Bombay High Court permitted the busting of firecrackers only for 3 hours i.e. between 7 pm and 10 pm.
The Bombay HC on Monday passed interim directions to the Maharashtra government and municipal authorities in Mumbai and surrounding areas to mobilise urgent steps to mitigate worsening air pollution. (With inputs from ANI, PTI)Milestone Alert!
