Diwali in Delhi this year
will be as noisy and polluting as ever. The Supreme Court on Wednesday
refused to impose any fresh restrictions on bursting of crackers despite
a desperate plea by three toddlers for a ban. The toddlers, through a
senior advocate, requested a bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and
Justice Arun Mishra to pass an interim order restricting cracker
bursting period to three days -two days before Diwali and Diwali day
-and limiting the fireworks to two hours. The SC said such a directive
could not be passed as an interim measure. “We must pass orders which
can be implemented. If anyone bursts crackers outside his house saying
it was his right, how does the court stop him?“ it said.
However, it took adverse note of the fact that the government had not implemented its October 16 direction for wide publicity through print and electronic media about the ill-effects of crackers.

Fire crackers are fun , but at the cost of a lot of pollution . People in our state are not sensible enough to take safety measures. The roads , which are meant for travelling , are bombarded in such a way so as to harrass the travellers. It is not safe , but people find it fun and they'll keep doing it unless there is any action taken . If we are concerned about the wildlife , a lot of harm is done to them as well. If it a right of the people to burst crackers outside their house , then it is also a right of the by passers to be safe ! The legal system is should not be blinded by such hazardous situations which are so common a scenerio all over the country during the festive season.
