On the night of Diwali, the instructions of the Punjab government were completely flouted. Following the strict instructions of the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal, the Punjab government had set the time for bursting firecrackers from 8 to 10 pm, but from 7 pm, the work of bursting firecrackers started at such a pace that the sounds of explosions echoed throughout the night. remained
Amritsar and Ludhiana in Orange Zone
After 8 pm, the level of pollution increased so much that a sheet of smoke spread across Punjab. The air quality (AQI) in Punjab was so bad that anyone could suffocate at night. Bathinda is still not immune to its influence. Amritsar and Ludhiana are in Orange Zone. AQI of many cities in Punjab has been recorded between 400 and 500.

Fireworks in Delhi on Diwali night
A sheet of smoke was seen in Delhi on Monday morning. Visibility is also very low. Meanwhile, if we talk about Sunday night, PM 2.5 level reached 593 mgcm in RK Puram. On Sunday, Diwali evening, Delhi’s average AQI remained in the “Poor” category. In such a situation, if stubble is set on fire in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, there may be a sudden increase in the level of pollution.
Air quality across Delhi continues to be in the ‘Poor’ category as per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
