Burst firecrackers between 8 and 10pm: BMC’s appeal to Mumbaities

Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has issued a public appeal, aligning with the Bombay High Court’s directives, urging residents to burst firecrackers strictly between 8pm and 10pm during Diwali. The civic body underscored the health risks posed by polluted air, particularly to children, pregnant women, senior citizens, and individuals with respiratory illnesses. The move is part of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s initiative to implement pollution control measures. Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Iqbal Chahal encouraged residents to choose eco-friendly firecrackers to minimise air and noise pollution.
