In Bengaluru, Karnataka, police have banned the bursting of crackers between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. during Diwali.There can be no bursting of crackers around the silent zones like hospitals.

Crackers not only cause noise pollution but their smoke also pollutes the air and increases the air pollution levels way above acceptable limits.

Police will patrol across the city and action will be taken against people who are found violating the ban.

Hoping that not only Karnataka but people across the country burst crackers wisely.
