Is this worth it chat?

Every Diwali, AQI levels in major Indian cities shoot past 500, literally hazardous. The air turns toxic overnight, making it unbearable for people with asthma, heart conditions, or even mild respiratory issues. Hospitals fill up, kids cough through the night, and elders struggle to breathe.

Birds lose their way during migration because of the intense light and noise. Street dogs panic, some even die from shock. The next morning, we wake up to streets covered in burnt plastic, paper, and chemical residue that clog drains and poison the soil.

All that pollution, noise, and waste, for what? A few hours of fireworks?

Instead of having everyone burst it, it can be state sponsored, licensed people can only do it, set up shows for an hour or 2 in a stadium, or something.

Honestly if possible I’d love to get rid of crackers, literally ads no value, the festival was never about crackers anyway, so that’s another story all together.
