Secondly, violators need to be heavily penalised (up to Rs3,000).

Firstly, crackers must not be sold in markets so that people will not have access to these. There are various steps that can be taken by the UT Administration to ensure a full compliance of the cracker ban on Diwali. Unless the seriousness of pollution problem is recognised by the public as well as the authorities, no ban will hold. Youngsters are bursting crackers in pre-Diwali bash and going scot-free. At Diwali also, the same story is going to be repeated as the authorities concerned are not seriously taking any steps to enforce the ban, except making half-hearted announcements. Also, all Ramlila committees openly flouted the ban by stuffing effigies with crackers and burning them in the presence of VIP guests.

Defaulters should be imposed a minimum fine of Rs2,000 and detained for 24 hours. The UT Administration should make all residents aware of the harm of bursting crackers. It is really sad that the public is not adhering to the instructions of the administration and is not ready to accept the cracker ban.
