Share some tips on reducing air pollution?
Get rid of your old cars as old car emits a lot of gases that are harmful for the environment. Also since, it's Diwali, I would like to request everyone not to burn the firecrackers throughout the whole festival. Select the special days such as Badi Diwali and Choti Diwali and burn firecrackers only during those days.
What tips would you share about safe diwali?
I remember when I was a kid I was trying to burn a firecracker with my hands and it burst immediately. As a result, I was badly hurt and had to get 18 stitches. Since then, my family is done with firecrackers. Hence always make sure you don't light them in your hands. Also remove the skin of the tail from where you burn the crackers as it helps in setting a timer and you get enough time to get away from them.
