Mumbai is grappling with hazardous air quality following Diwali celebrations, as highlighted by actress Bhumi Pednekar. The deterioration in air quality is attributed to the bursting of firecrackers during the festivities. Pednekar expressed her concerns over the health risks faced by children, the elderly, and animals, who are particularly vulnerable to the effects of pollution.
The actress urged citizens to make conscious choices this Diwali to ensure the well-being of all, including those unable to voice their discomfort.
