Delhi CM bans usage of Firecrackers in Delhi

Keeping in view the pollution level of the state, the state government has banned the storage and usage of firecrackers ahead of Diwali. The information was shared by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Twitter. Kejriwal tweeted, "Seeing the severe pollution levels in the national capital for the last three years during Diwali, a complete ban is being imposed on storage, sale and use of all types of firecrackers in Delhi this time, just like last year. Last year, the ban was imposed after traders had already stored firecrackers for sale which had resulted in losses for them. I appeal to the traders to not stock up on firecrackers in view of the complete ban." 

पिछले 3 साल से दीवाली के समय दिल्ली के प्रदूषण की खतरनाक स्तिथि को देखते हुए पिछले साल की तरह इस बार भी हर प्रकार के पटाखों के भंडारण, बिक्री एवं उपयोग पर पूर्ण प्रतिबंध लगाया जा रहा है। जिससे लोगों की जिंदगी बचाई जा सके।

Every year the level of pollution in Delhi increases significantly during winters. Every time many efforts are made by the Delhi government to reduce it. At the same time, before the coming of winter season, the Kejriwal government has once again started working on many big schemes to deal with this problem.
