Decision taken to curb severe pollution levels, says Kejriwal
The storage, sale and use of all types of firecrackers is banned with immediate effect in the Capital, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced here Wednesday.
The decision was taken in view of the rising pollution levels seen during Deepavali.
