Low IQ. High AQI. The summary of many Indian cities right now.

We desperately need a nationwide ban on firecrackers. Kill this industry immediately. Make your rangoli, light your diyas, do your puja, dress up, eat, and put lights on your house. That's it. That is all you need to be Hindu or whatever tf. I am serious. STOP. SHIT. FUCK STOP.

The audacity of the govt to threaten citizens with 3 months imprisonment for an expired pollution certificate while forcing us to breathe 400 AQI air everyday.

The night of Diwali is proof of why India can NEVER become a developed country. Developed country ke log don’t burst crackers when the AQI in their city is over 500. It becomes a NATIONAL EMERGENCY (for reference see what happened in Singapore a few weeks back). They care for their country, they care for its air. They care for the future generations. They care for knowledge. Basically, they CARE. Indians DON’T care about India. We treat our own country like SHIT. And until we don’t learn to care, we will NEVER become a developed country. Not in 2047, not in 3047. Aur jalaao pataakhe, jalake sab rakh kar do. The end.

Not sure if this will be categorised as crime or apradh.

उत्तर प्रदेश – कानपुर में ब्लैक थार से कुचलकर LIC एजेंट की मौत हो गई। पुलिस ने थार ड्राइवर गीता सचान को गिरफ्तार कर लिया, जो इटली में पढ़ रही है और दिवाली मनाने कानपुर घर पर आई थी। कोर्ट ने गीता को रिहा कर दिया। सूचना समाप्त...

Post-Diwali AQI in Aizawl, Mizoram is 56 right now. Didn't hear a single cracker or firework last night. My wife, two kids and two dogs slept peacefully. Our lungs are happy.

this is a population that saw their loved ones die during covid and still voted for the goons ofc they feel no guilt. not for family or strangers.
i really wish people would stop making others feel guilty for celebrating their own festivals. don’t let anyone manipulate you into believing that celebrating diwali, bursting crackers or following traditions passed down generations is something to be ashamed of.

I had to go sleep last night wearing an N95 mask, indoors, in my own home. My chest felt like it was on fire, I was coughing for hours straight. Kindly go fuck yourself Deepika.

A textbook "egg on the face" speedrun! 🥚🏃‍♂️💨 Mumbai BJP Mayor Ritu Tawde slams Dia Mirza, calling her "anti-Hindutva" for a simple anti-firecracker video. Fast forward 48 hours: Records her own video begging people to stop bursting crackers.😂 Masterclass in clownery.

A heartbreaking incident at Evershine, adjacent to Jain Temple in Thakur Village Kandivali East. Three shops and 7–8 flats above them have reportedly been destroyed by fire, leaving innocent families homeless. Who will take responsibility? Why are roadside firecracker stalls allowed without strict safety checks by local police and BMC? The Bombay High Court has issued clear directions regarding roadside stalls and prohibited bursting firecrackers on public streets. @DcpZone12Mumbai @MumbaiPolice @mybmc @CPMumbaiPolice @SamtaNagarPS Demand an immediate inquiry into the fire, verification of firecracker stall permissions, accountability of responsible officials and removal of unauthorised and unsafe stalls. Public safety cannot be compromised through administrative negligence.

I can barely breathe and i have really robust lungs. Last night one of the buildings in the neighbourhood caught fire. Two floors completely blackened. Respectfully, I have to say I think we have become a nation of morons.

every year without fail, Diwali reminds me of just how little empathy people in this country have for others and how severely they lack some basic civic sense

This is video of someone bursting firecrackers from top floor, I think it's around 40th floor or so. @mulund_info Oberoi Eternia
Good that, it's finally implemented but the sad part is, look at the highlighted area.. this is a complex of 4 towers of 63 floors each. Pathetic.
