Delhi-NCR Air Quality Worsens, Supreme Court Weighs Firecracker Restrictions

The Supreme Court of India emphasized balancing religious sentiments with public health concerns as it considers restrictions on firecrackers in Delhi-NCR. The court suggested greater public awareness and voluntary adoption of less polluting practices to minimize air and noise pollution. A senior advocate argued that enforcing restrictions would be challenging without effective implementation, and the court may refer the issue to the Commission for Air Quality Management for further examination.
