Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, on Wednesday, claimed that he will burst firecrackers on Diwali because ‘traditions are as important as the environment.’ The statement comes after the Supreme Court, in order to check air pollution, banned the sale of firecrackers in the Delhi-NCR region, a week ago.

As per an ANI report, Chouhan said, “Crackers alone don’t contribute to pollution. We will light earthen lamps and also burst a few crackers. The environment is important but so are traditions. We will celebrate Diwali  traditionally”.

The Supreme Court had on October 9 imposed a blanket ban on the sale of firecrackers in the Delhi-NCR in the run-up of Diwali to check the alarming pollution level. A three-judge bench of the apex court had restored its November 2016 order, banning the sale of crackers in NCR and suspended its September 2017 order – which allowed limited sale but banned imports from other states.

Earlier, too many celebrities have expressed their support or anguish over the SC’s decision.
