The Calcutta High Court has put a complete ban on selling and bursting of Firecrackers during Kali Pujo, Diwali, and other upcoming pujas in West Bengal this year.

This decision was taken keeping the COVID situation and air pollution in mind.

Experts and many doctors have previously stated that the smoke released from firecrackers can be extremely dangerous for people who have recently recovered from COVID-19, as the virus affects the lungs to a great extent.

The Calcutta High court has requested the public to follow the decision from a humanitarian standpoint.
