New Delhi will ban fireworks from October to January.

This measure was introduced to reduce the level of air pollution. These months are especially difficult - the metropolis is shrouded in smoke from burning stubble, dust and car exhaust. In addition, on October 24, the Diwali festival of lights takes place, and the city is filled with smoke from the launch of pyrotechnics. Some Hindus condemn the city government's decision. They believe that the ban on fireworks during Diwali restricts their freedom of worship.
