Supreme Court has restricted the use of firecrackers across India saying that only green crackers will be allowed. To avoid increasing air pollution, inducing fire accidents, health problems like shortness of breath, eyes burning and respiratory problems, the Supreme Court came up with this judgment. Air quality in Delhi is also gradually inching towards the "severe" category largely due to stubble-burning in neighbouring states Punjab and Haryana.

Why have We The People have stopped caring?
