NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) welcomed the Supreme Court’s conditional approval for green crackers in Delhi during Diwali but cautioned the BJP government to prevent another pollution crisis.

Senior AAP leader Gopal Rai emphasised the need for strict enforcement of the apex court’s directives to protect Delhiites.

He reminded that a similar ruling in 2018 failed due to lax enforcement, leading to a ban in 2020. Rai urged the BJP government to ensure proper implementation and protect citizens from pollution. “Half of October has passed, yet the BJP government has neither prepared nor announced its Winter Action Plan,” he said.
