Air pollution in India’s capital city reached ‘hazardous’ levels on Friday after a fireworks ban was largely ignored during the Hindu festival of lights.
New Delhi frequently tops the list of the world’s most polluted cities. It’s blanketed in cancer-causing smog each year.
But its cars and stubble burning remain the main causes of its pollution.
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports.

Hindu hu. Chutiya nahi. Pollution pe dhyan do aur muslim se comparison karna band karo. India ko aage leke jaana hai, China ya Pakistan ko nahi
Good job Al Jazeera
Uneducated people using fireworks
I don't know why there is the culture of buring firecrackers in diwali…. All this majority hindu's festivals(holi, makar sankranti etc)are so disastrous for nature and they claim that their all gods are in nature😅😂
Air was polluted before diwali and after diwali so diwali has nothing to do with pollution
Yay al Jazeera shining again in defaming India wahw thats not new
They believe only mullas have to breathe in all those pollution that's why they don't care about it. 😅
Why dont al jeera shows pathetic conditions of labours who dies every year due to poor hygienic condition in Qatar
Stop visiting India for two more months
Tell us about how much greenhouse gases are emitted for traveling to hajj
Hey guys don't blame fireworks it's Delhi government who not able to control 30% from construction,26% from buring farms,then from cars or other pollution or see fire work not caused the pollution which harm so much or it is increased 3% pollution only single day on diwali. Or what about other day as same as usual. Go see blood on sewage on Eid then I am able to say waste of life or blood. And Al Jazeera is biased or funded media of non democratic qatar.
Someone stop the Hindus. They are poisoning the air.
What about new year al Jazeera
Only those who suffer know what air pollution is.😔
When you started by fire works u already shown your bias Al Jazeera 😂
There are lots of sectors where Bharat is progressing and successful. Kindly be a good journalist and make Documentaries on it also.
Shree Krishna bless you
How many goats are slaughtered brutally on eid ?
How many greenhouse gases emitted while travelling for hajj ? Can't they walk ? 😂
Bakrid festival so cruel animal cruelty Muslim festival should be ban 😂
Cow urine drinking people's in India 😂😂😂😂
And because of Delhi's pollution the nearby City of Lahore is also suffering. Paying the price of living in neighbourhood.
Well to blame fireworks as the only cause of pollution in Delhi is not justifiable , Delhi remains polluted perennially.
Not only Delhi is polluted but 15+ cities in India are heavy polluted and government is not doing anything to it due to corporate, companies, industries pressure ; there aren't any strict laws against those like Europe
Indien war schon vor Diwali verschmutzt. Da sieht man wie dumm und unnachsichtig die Menschheit ist zum Fest noch Feuerwerkskörper loszulassen.
Aljazzera wants all hindus to turn to islam.
Lahore is least polluted city in the world..
What do you expect from uneducated people who whorship cows😂 lol
India is a dirtiest country
I know the complete ban of firecrackers is a bit of difficult job in India,but why doesn't the government tightens rules regarding the burning of crackers. Like regulating it's sales and declaring a specific time frame ,for like 2 hours,for 1 day, and allowing only bursting of green crackers during Diwali and those caught disobeying shall be penalised. Diwali is a festival of lights,not one of smoke and dust.
So fire crackers create pollution but wars are eco-friendly instead of targeting diwali target usa , israel,russia ,Ukraine clowns
Do people in India still use rivers for toilet purposes ??
Why eid ul fitr is ce!brr+Ed . Uneducated people sacrificed animals. Save animals
What do you expect from people that worship a cow
Hindus andbhakt :what about aisya 😂
Diwali is now a festival of pollution
All indian festivals cause pollution, whether its water pollution with idol immersion along with the powdered colored chemicals, or the sound pollution during their religious parades, or the air pollution with firecrackers. And they are all proud of it. They won't stop. And politicians need votes, so they would only promote this further.
Ban fireworks
Just like eid for animal safety
Puppet Al Jazeera 😂
yes only diwali is spreading pollution and gaza Israel war russia ukrine war spreading oxygen and safeguarding the ozone layer of this planet wow most sensible and unbiased reporting by terrorists i mean Aljazeera
Unfortunately, People of India misunderstand the Difference between Festival of Light with Festival of Noise, air and litter Pollution. And more unfortunate? They relate this with religion. God save India
Hahajahahahaha INCREDIBLE INDIA 🇮🇳
Why don't you report on the attacks against Hindus in Canada .
These rocket aren't as dangerous as those used for jihad
Mind you own business, we knew you consider human bomb as the ultimate green fireworks 😅
