I have lived in Delhi. The main culprit is age old practice of burning of crop stubs in fields by farmers in October November between kharif and rabi crops. This happens in canal irrigated wheat belt of west uttar pradesh, haryana Punjab and Pakistan Punjab.If you Go to Lahore nobody burst diwali crackers there, same smog and air quality problems.
Delhis pollution rates are over the top already , why add to it ? Crop burning should be banned too . And this is not a game of comparison , pollution in Delhi is a very serious issue .
Then stop buying cars running on petrol and diesel . Use public transport even if it's hectic . Stop using AC and Refrigerator as they contribute to ozone depletion which is more threatening than pollution .
It's never about comparison . Comparison is done to expose hypocrisy
Crop burning ban is not easy. What other alternative have agriculture scientists provided? Sprinklers or using airplanes is cost prohibitive. Farmers dont have money to give to contractors either who work for this. People think that smog is due to diwali crackers which is wrong-that is my point.
Supreme court is a atheist organization they hate religious festivals like dewali n holi. why is the supreme court blind about pollution by mining,industry's, sewage disposal ? why can't they Ben horns which make noise pollution.

Ban on diwali crackers will not affect even 1% of the smog in Delhi. Wrong target !!!
This is from Lahore where nobody burst Diwali firecrackers-same problem like Delhi.
