In a bold move aimed at combatting rising pollution levels, the Bombay High Court has prohibited the use of firecrackers on Mumbai roads. The court's decision, taken suo motu, highlights the urgent need for accountability in addressing the alarming noise and air pollution during public festivities.

This ruling comes as a response to the increasing health risks posed by toxic emissions, raising critical questions about the government's commitment to public welfare.
