Delhi-NCR residents defy all odds, including the Supreme Court's order to ban firecrackers, to exercise their birthright of breathing in polluted air. This Diwali, as many before it, brought in lights, sweets and, of course, air and noise pollution-inducing firecrackers.
How much the administration did to implement SC order is well documented in the AQI numbers on Monday morning.
Last week's rain cleared up the air but for Delhiites there is no festive season without causing distress to vital organs. Anyway, humans have an extra set of lungs...right? So cough, gasp...
