Taking on to the tweeter, he said “Just like last year, there will be a complete ban on storage, sale, and bursting of all kinds of firecrackers this year too, in the wake of the situation of pollution in Delhi during Diwali in the last three weeks.
In another tweet, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said, “keeping the view of the seriousness of pollution after the stocking of firecrackers by traders previous year, a complete ban was imposed late, which caused losses to the traders.”
