Tomorrow it will be even worse — usually 250+ AQI. Still, this region has good airflow compared to the northern parts of India which literally go past the maximum reading on the scales — not great, not terrible — which is a result of after harvest stubble burning, firecrackers, cold weather and the entire northern region’s airflow blocked by the Himalayas.

The so called Hindus will literally call you out for being “weak” instead of deciding to not waste their money on the crackers and killing people. Delhi’s chief minister (who can’t even sign a piece of document) said that Diwali is incomplete without firecrackers before lifting the prevention measures from the previous government— which was also a failure.

Firecrackers were never even part of Diwali. The festival was about getting together, share gifts and sweets. But these radical Hindus don’t give a shit.

Update: Our Prime Minister with Delhi’s Chief Minister with air purifier while they encourage people to burst more crackers.
