Can ‘green’ fireworks really prevent Diwali air pollution bomb in Delhi? So-called green fireworks may emit less smoke than conventional ones in controlled tests but scientists and doctors are sceptical about difference in real-world impact

After years of ineffective fireworks ban during Diwali, India's supreme court said it's allowing "limited use of green crackers" in an attempt to balance culture and environment. But experts are sceptical.

Air quality in Delhi has already plunged.

Probably. I saw the video when I didn't know what happened. I thought he was shot from another building nearby and he was surrounded by a large crowd.
