As the festive season approaches, Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) has shown signs of improvement, yet concerns linger over the potential for severe smog this Diwali. Authorities have issued warnings about air pollution spikes due to traditional celebrations involving fireworks, which could exacerbate the already precarious situation
Environmental experts highlight that while recent measures to control pollution have had positive effects, they remain insufficient against the backdrop of seasonal factors contributing to smog formation. This has prompted calls for stricter regulations and public awareness campaigns aimed at reducing pollution during the festive season
Residents are advised to take precautions as the city prepares for a potential decline in air quality, stressing the need for a collective effort to maintain cleaner air. As Delhi grapples with these environmental challenges, the intersection of culture and pollution remains a pressing issue for policymakers and citizens alike
