India is getting choked...
diwali firecrackers cause bad
air quality...
According to the Central
pollution Control Board, the
air quality has worsened not only in
tamil Nadu but all over
india due to the bursting of firecrackers during the
diwali festival.
diwali was celebrated across the country yesterday (November 12). This year's
diwali festival falls on
sunday and its celebrations started on 10th November. Since that evening, crackers and fireworks have been burst and
diwali has begun. If that is the case, I must say that wherever you turn, there is the sound of firecrackers. Children and adults enjoyed bursting crackers regardless of age. Earlier, the
supreme court had permitted to burst firecrackers for only two hours, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, as environmental
pollution has been increasing in
india for the past few years. It was also advised that the respective state governments should implement the time control at their convenience.
According to this, the
tamil Nadu
government has permitted burst firecrackers only from 6 am to 7 am and from 7 pm to 8 pm in
tamil Nadu. Following this, the
police also released the control details. But despite that, the bursting of firecrackers took place even during the prohibited hours. The
police were also involved in surveillance work in this regard.
Meanwhile, 581 cases of bursting firecrackers beyond the permitted time have been registered in Chennai. On the other hand, due to the bursting of firecrackers, the whole of
chennai was covered in smoke.
people suffered as the smoke was so thick that oncoming traffic could not be seen on the road. As for the
capital chennai,
manali was reported to be the worst affected by
air pollution. The
air quality there was 322. Only 0 to 100 is healthy
air quality. If it goes beyond that, there will be dire consequences and
chennai is stuck. The
air quality was 256 in Alandur, 308 in Velachery, 256 in Arumbakkam, 252 in Rayapuram, 126 in Kodunkaiyur, 255 in Kummidipoondi, 231 in Chengalpattu, 180 in Vellore, 175 in Cuddalore, 164 in
puducherry and 142 in Salem.
Nilgiris (20) recorded the lowest
air pollution in
tamil Nadu. And not only in
tamil Nadu but in Bihar, the
air quality reached the worst level of 397. Similarly,
tirupati 395,
bhubaneswar and
kolkata 375,
delhi 305,
meerut 320, and Gurugram 311 have deteriorated.
