The Issue

Over the last few years, it has become impossible for us to wake up in the morning, take a breath of fresh air and take in the views of the mesmerising environment around us. It has been declared that Delhiites have inhaled the most toxic air with PM 2.5 which is 14 times the WHO limit. The air quality of India keeps deteriorating as the days pass by. This situation tends to turn lethal as the Indian festival of Diwali approaches. 

Firstly, due to the pollution caused by the crackers, the Covid-19 cases are on the rise by huge numbers. Moreover, it worsens the situation of people already suffering due to asthma and many other respiratory issues. 
Secondly, the loud and unpleasant noise of the crackers is extremely disturbing to the docile stray animals. They have no option but to endure the pain while hiding in endangerment. Diwali days are nothing but a nightmare for them.

Thirdly, crackers are the number one reason for unpredictable fires. The aftermath of Diwali is not as immaculate as you might think. Another issue in hindsight is the vast heaps of garbage accumulating on roads. This waste has various chemicals that is detrimental on people’s health that reside near the same.

Say no to crackers, protect the health of our community.
