Gurfateh also shared a screenshot showing Mumbai’s AQI at 521 on Sunday evening. Expressing his frustration over the pollution, he wrote: “So furious at the insensitivity at display last night. For a country obsessed with having kids we sure don't give a ***k about the air they might inhale. Zero governance and zero ****ing accountability. Not even going to talk about what the domesticated animals and strays must have been through.”
Mumbai AQI rises after Diwali firecrackers
Firecracker bursting led to a sharp overnight rise in pollution across Mumbai. Navy Nagar recorded an AQI of 497 at 2 am, while several other locations also crossed the 400 mark. The city was covered in a thick haze as air quality deteriorated after the celebrations.
The Bombay High Court had ordered restrictions on bursting firecrackers in public places. In response, the BMC deployed 237 corporators on Saturday to spread awareness about the harmful effects of firecrackers, particularly in slums and densely populated neighbourhoods. The campaign focused on concerns around rising air and noise pollution.
