The amount of patake that were burnt last night is INSANE. Till the time people don’t use brains and not burn crackers more responsibly, this problem will persist. I literally saw the skies turn grey last night and it was painful 😭

Ironically some of them were burnt yesterday to to symbolize the destruction of filth, disease, and unhygienic conditions under cleanliness drives like Swachh Bharat
