causes not only destruction but also other devastating

pollutants like, air pollution and noise pollution and burning

them is for no good. To portray this we had various scenes

that showed harmful things that firecrackers do to our

environment, and because of these firecrackers and other

pollutants the Air Quality Index worsens day to day causing

things like cancer, air pollution and many other harmful

diseases. We can all have a satisfying and a Happy Diwali by
