Unseasonal Rain, Green Crackers, and Mumbai's Pollution During Diwali

During Diwali in Mumbai, it rained, which helped lower air pollution, but noise pollution continued.

Firecrackers were used past the allowed time of 10 pm, especially in neighborhoods.

Sumaira Abdulali, an environmentalist, says authorities aren't doing enough to control pollution.

She notes that the government should enforce existing rules and promote green crackers.

Noise from construction sites also affects residents.

Abdulali is calling for the government to enforce existing policies and for construction sites to be quieter.
