New Delhi (27/10/2019): For many, Diwali is synonymous with firecrackers. But over the years with the air quality deteriorating to alarming levels in the capital, the festival of lights has become synonymous with a rise in pollution. The day after Diwali has often been a day of dread for those with lung ailments.
Traders at Connaught Place said on Saturday that their business was down by 70-80 per cent due to the closure of a few roads and parking slots for the four-day laser show organised by the Delhi government.
According to the New Delhi Traders Association (NDTA), hundreds of Delhi’ites gathered at Connaught Place in the heart of the city to celebrate a “community and pollution-free Diwali” as the city government kick-started its four-day laser show from October 26 to encourage people not to burst crackers.
The traders staged a protest as the laser show began.
