Deepawali is a festival of light, joy and happiness. However, this happy occasion is not always celebrated with due caution and at times, it turns into a festival of noise and fire hazard. It is necessary that this festival is celebrated taking all precautions with a view to minimize pollution, fire hazard and accidents.
I appeal one and all to avoid crackers especially in prohibited zones like hospitals, educational institutions, places of worship, petrol pumps and on roads and burst firecrackers only between 8 pm to 10 pm. Your co-operation will be crucial to fellow citizens enabling them to celebrate the festival with joy and happiness. Celebrate the festival of light in its true spirit.
I wish you all a very Happy & Prosperous Deepawali
