Diwali 2017 Date
We have good news and bad news.First, let’s get the bad news out of the way: Diwali firecrackers are partially banned.And now for the good news: Diwali firecrackers are partially banned.The Supreme Court gave its ruling just 15 days before Diwali on November 7, in response to a petition in September 2015, pleading for a ban on the manufacture and sale of firecrackers to protect their health. In 2016 and 2017, the SC had passed an order with on the manufacture and sale of firecrackers in Delhi and the National Capital Region. This time, the ban has expanded to a national ruling.What exactly does the SC order say?The apex court observed that there was a need to strike a balance between the right to health of citizens and the right to carry on trade by fireworks manufacturers. Accordingly, it laid down the following rules and guidelines in its order. Firecrackers. that are green, or ‘less polluting’ — that is, on the safe side of the decibel and emission limits — are allowed in Delhi and areas nearby;.
should be burnt only for a couple of hours, between 8 p.m. On Diwali and 11:55 p.m. To 12:30 a.m. Banning firecrackers or atleast limiting the time of usage is a step in the right direction.If the Government yields to the thousands of uneducated citizens who feel it is “a violation of their religious freedom,” they are not upholding the constitutional rights of good physical and mental health. Such matters shouldn’t be left to the general public. Instead, the rules should be enforced strictly and the violaters prosecuted.Now, to those who think that the Government is attacking their religious freedom and religion as such,let me ask you,is it written in any religious texts to use extremely loud and highly polluting firecrackers to celebrate your festivals?Also, to those who think that the Government is targeting only Hindus, wake up!
The major religion in India is Hinduism, nearly 80% of the population. Hence, Diwali will be celebrated by 80+ percentage of the population. This would mean a proportional increase in air and noise pollution. The restrictions that are being imposed are to safeguard everyone’s health. Personally, if restrictions were to be imposed on New Year’s Eve for the sake of the public’s health, I would welcome it.
