The Supreme Court has slammed the Delhi government and police for not implementing a firecracker ban on Diwali. This comes as the capital continues to grapple with severe air pollution, with the AQI hitting "severe" levels in several regions. The court sought explanations from both parties for this non-compliance. Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih observed that firecrackers were being brought into Delhi from neighboring states, highlighting lack of public understanding and enforcement.
