The air quality in the country’s gas chamber, NCR, deteriorated as a consequence of Delhiites who continued to burst firecrackers long after the deadline imposed by the Supreme Court, the authorities exclaimed. On Wednesday, the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 302 at 11 pm. As per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), this level of AQI falls under the very poor category. The Apex Court had said that bursting of firecrackers was allowed from 8 pm to 10 pm only on Diwali and other festivals. Other than that, the manufacture and sale of only ‘green crackers’, which have a low light and sound emission with less harmful chemicals, was permitted.
