Pollution Vs Tradition: Delhi government prepares itself for the return of smog

Delhi's air quality remains to be in the poor category as the festive season has kicked in. While the govt has taken help of a graded response action plan to help curb pollution, 1000s of Ravana effigies were burnt across the capital today. Besides this, as suspense over another cracker ban looms, cracker sales in the city have gone up. This hints at another dangerous spell of thick smog which has been wreaking havoc.
