Don't worry, next year these idiots will hit 4000 AQI and everybody will vanish because they can't breathe, solving the problem.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, that’s ok. But the unprecedented firecracker display last night shooting the AQI to 2400 seems like a way to tell the educated, sympathetic or empathetic urban population to just get the F out. We don’t want you.

Is this a joke ?
“The duty to protect our air continues long after Diwali.”
In her article in Hindustan Times, Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta highlights how Delhi is strengthening preventive measures, acting before smog takes hold and making the fight against air pollution a year-round commitment.

SOS! WAKE UP CALL! Day after Diwali, AQI in South Delhi has breached the ‘SEVERE’ category in several parts of the city. A top ENT surgeon warns that living in Delhi could be taking 10 years off your life!
As crackers burst through the night in brazen violation of court orders, with enforcement conspicuous by its absence, the question is: DO WE CARE ENOUGH? IS ANYONE ACCOUNTABLE?
And let’s be clear: protecting public health is NOT an intervention in a Hindu festival. Celebrating Diwali and enforcing pollution norms are NOT mutually exclusive. Why should the right to celebrate come at the cost of the right to breathe?😡
Yes I think that was the plan to make us flee ! They succeeded.
Congratulations Delhi we set a new #AQI record. Time to leave for the land of my ancestors.

Just saw a few kids bursting crackers... They were protecting themselves from bad air by wearing masks. We seem to have reached an insane level of stupidity!! 🤐

These people are bursting crackers nonstop, ffs.
At this point, I don't even blame the govt, we as a society are a pathetic lot.
I don't even care what the major pollutant is, but what's the point of aggravating an already messed up situation?

The firework debate has exposed some people for what they truelly are
Self-entitled, unempathetic, uncompassionate, inconsiderate, self-absorbed, heartless, irresponsible, contemptuous, selfish, arrogant, emotionally detached, callous, narcissistic wankers
We see you....

Full credit to these brothers who raised pollution beyond 3000.

#लखनऊ का AQI 1697 पार🚨यह हवा नहीं, खुला ज़हर है।
यह धरती हमारी है, सांसें हमारी हैं और भुगतना भी हम इंसानों और बेज़ुबान जानवरों को ही है। आख़िर हम कब समझेंगे कि प्रकृति को बर्बाद करके कोई ज़िंदा नहीं बच सकता?

दिल्ली में मेरी गली में अंधाधुंध पटाखे जलाए जा रहे हैं। मेरा 11 महीने का बच्चा हर तेज धमाके से डरकर सहम जा रहा है। पटाखों का धुआं घरों में घुस रहा है और बच्चा खांसने लगता है।
जरा सोचिए, जिस दिल्ली में AQI 500 के पार पहुंच रहा हो, वहां हालात कितने भयावह होंगे!
लेकिन अफसोस, न लोगों को अपने बच्चों की सेहत की चिंता है, न बुजुर्गों की और न ही पर्यावरण की।
सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश, पाबंदियां और चेतावनियां सब अपनी जगह हैं, लेकिन जब लोगों को ही परवाह नहीं तो दिल्ली की हवा कैसे सुधरेगी?
सच तो ये है कि हम खुद अपनी आने वाली पीढ़ी की सांसों में जहर घोल रहे हैं।

Almost midnight. Firecrackers continue to go off. Even air purifiers don’t work.
What better way to showcase #goodgovernance in the capital of the world’s largest democracy!
Ordinary lives don’t matter. The extraordinary are not in the city or are cocooned in places with artificially-purified air.

Delhi: Fireworks continue beyond the Supreme Court-mandated 10 pm deadline amid a thick layer of pollution.

Delhi and NCR. The unbeatable joy of being stuck in a mad scientist's lab experiment with a side dose of It's Our God-Given Right To Poison You, Too.
Wait, how are we 2nd most polluted city? Ludhiana people, this is not a race you want to win, trust me.

This is cold-blooded slow poisoning. Many of us had covid and already have weak lungs. Specious framing of this slow poisoning of 20 million people as a prestige issue to preserve culture, heritage or religious tradition.
No religion sanctions slow poisoning of women, children and men.
#Delhi’s AQI at hazardous levels, worst Diwali eve pollution in 10 years, and the firecrackers haven’t stopped for even one single second today 🫥
