The quality of air is not improving in the city of Delhi. Despite a court warning the bursting of crackers is not being stopped in Delhi.<\/p>\n
The court suggested that the crackers should be banned on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court on Monday had sharp words for Delhi Police and demanded “immediate action” to stop the sale and bursting of firecrackers in the city – an annual activity that defies an existing
\nban – even days after Diwali, observing sharply that “no religion encourages pollution”.<\/p>\n
“No religion encourages any activity which creates pollution. If firecrackers are burst in this fashion… it also affects fundamental right to health of the citizens,” a bench of Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih, hearing a case on Delhi’s yearly air quality crisis, said.<\/p>\n
The court also demanded the Delhi government take a decision on a permanent ban on firecrackers – the chemical residue of which blankets the city in cloud of toxic smog that smothers residents and severely endangers their health – in the city by November 25.<\/p>\n
