Every cracker in the NCR had a message that echoed through the country !
#Diwali2021

How did the State administrations & Courts, eager in their almost evangelical zeal, conclude that a cracker ban on Diwali was the solution to our pollution problems?
Is it that they don’t understand the problem at all?

Or is that they have no idea how to handle it?

Or was it simply a case of taking for granted a compliant community because all else has failed?
What seems even more surprising, is that they actually believed people would quietly comply on this very important festival & the ban could be enforced with a ratio of 150 policemen to a 100,000 Indians.

मी अविवेकाची काजळी । फेडूनी विवेकदीप उजळीं ।
तैं योगियां पाहे दिवाळी । निरंतर ॥ ५४ ॥

The verse means:

(Written from the perspective of lord Shri Krishna)
