Diwali is a festival of lights
where crackers are for enjoyment for kids and adults. But the Supreme Court on 09th
Oct 2017 Monday suspended the sale of firecrackers in Delhi and NCR till
November 1, 2017. (The full form of NCR is National Capital Region which
consist of National Capital Territory of Delhi also Haryana, Rajasthan and
Uttar Pradesh areas)
Why
Ban only Hindu festivals like Diwali?
Delhi is facing air pollution
in 365 days such as vehicle emissions, industry, construction and residential
fuel burning.
According to Wikipedia - For
traffic related sources, growth in vehicle numbers and mileage seems to outpace
efforts to reduce emissions. Contrary to popular belief, most of the air
pollution in Delhi is not due to vehicular traffic. Main contributors to
particulate matter in the PM10 range, as a recent study shows, are road dust
(50%) and industry (23%)--vehicles accounted for only 7%. Among industrial
contributors, power plants within Delhi city limits were the main culprits.
But why Supreme Court banned on
Diwali crackers? This shows like disturbing human sentiments of Hindu people on
Hindu festival day in India.
History
of Diwali festival:
In northern India, Hindus
across in the India as well as the world celebrate Diwali in honor of the
return of Lord Rama, wife Sita, brother Lakshmana and lord Hanuman to Ayodhya
from exile of 14 years after Rama defeated Ravana. To honor and celebrate Lord
Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman returning from Sri Lanka and to illuminate
their path, villagers light Diyas to celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
And Southern India’s celebrates Diwali as the
day that Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. And in western India, the
festival marks the day that Lord Vishnu, the Preserver (one of the main gods of
the Hindu trinity) sent the demon King Bali to rule the nether world.
Loss
of Diwali crackers business to traders:
1. It is said that on 11 Nov
2016 – ban on selling crackers and this was lifted on 12 Sept 2017 by the Supreme
Court. But it was re-implemented on 9th Oct 2017.
2. Customers are unhappy with
the ban on Diwali crackers.
3. Businesses are closed in
crackers streets until November 1st 2017.
4. Indian made Diwali crackers doesn’t
bring any sound pollution for kids as well as adults.
5. The loss is around in hundred
of crores business of whole scale dealers, etc.
My
conclusion:
1. Supreme Court can ban some crackers that are in high in sound, big pollution like 1000 wala crackers in
streets, Chinese crackers, etc.
2. Supreme Court can ban New
Year celebrations of firing crackers on road.
3. Supreme Court can ban the
people who fire crackers after 10pm on roads.
4. Supreme Court can ban
crackers in all India not only Delhi and NCR.
5. If prior intimation about
ban of crackers is given. Then the business people won’t buy the crackers for
selling purpose and manufactures will not manufacture the crackers. They would
not have losses.
