Delhiites Shun Firecrackers To Attend Mega Laser-Show This Diwali, But Air Quality Is Still ‘Very Poor’

Diwali is one of the most important and eagerly awaited festivals in India but the manner in which the festival has historically been celebrated is now proving detrimental to the environment as it leads to widespread pollution that touches toxic marks post the festival on an annual basis.

In order to mark the festival in a way that it does not discourage the festive fervours while also retaining its unique bliss that is signified by colourful lights and all of this without having an adverse impact on the environment, a mega laser show is currently ongoing in Delhi.

But despite this, we certainly have a long way to go as the Air Quality remained “very poor” on Saturday in Delhi. The good news, however, is that last year it was “Severe+Emergency” on the same day.
