Why does Diwali – the festival of joy and lights – make Dr Neeraj Jain sad? Simply because the festival ends up costing people’s lives. The pulmonologist urges us to take firecracker smoke seriously. Patakha smoke is the most harmful form of pollution.

Jain has taken a pledge and urges others not to burst firecrackers either. It’s time we give our children a better future.
