The festival of Diwali was celebrated across the country on Monday. It is an old tradition to burst crackers on this day but due to environmental and health concerns, fireworks were banned in many cities of the country.

People ignored all the restrictions and burst firecrackers fiercely. In violation of the ban on bursting of crackers in the national capital, Delhiites not only burst firecrackers on the night of Diwali, but also burst crackers with loud noises.

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said last week that bursting crackers on Diwali in Delhi could attract a jail term of up to six months and a fine of Rs 200. As night progressed, the sound of firecrackers became louder and violated the permissible decibel limit. Despite rules being framed to prevent people from bursting crackers, people started pyrotechnics in different parts of the city including south to north east and north west Delhi as early as evening.
