Deepavali: Delhi forced into walking Green Mile

With green crackers still a scarce commodity and there being just 2,000 pre-decided community spots where they can be burst — at least legally — this year’s Diwali celebrations are likely to be a muted affair. That actually may not be such a bad thing, considering that the focus may shift to Diwali melas and club-based activities, as plans shared with TOI by several prominent RWAs revealed. The much-needed respite for Delhi’s air couldn’t be that bad a thing — the AQI reading on Monday was 249 (poor), but Siri Fort’s 663 (severe) pointed to the danger ahead.
