This special report investigates the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing green firecrackers in Delhi for Diwali. The program features environmentalists Vimlendu Jha and Bhavreen Kandhari, alongside activist and political analyst Sujata Pandey, with Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor as anchor. The central discussion addresses the court’s effort to balance cultural traditions with citizens’ constitutional right to clean air under Article 21, set against Delhi’s critical air pollution levels. Panelists debate whether green crackers constitute a pragmatic solution or a "greenwashed" compromise impacting public health. Key arguments include accusations of "selective activism" directed at Hindu festivals and questions regarding the enforceability of timed restrictions. The report underscores the conflict between festive traditions and the pressing public health crisis in the city, where reports indicate damaged lungs in children. The conversation also explores whether firecrackers are the primary pollutant compared to year-round industrial and vehicular emissions, and the challenges of previous bans.
