You fine people for burning leaves, but let them burn chemicals for celebration. Howâs that âgreenâ again? @CPCB_OFFICIAL @gupta_rekha

If a cracker burns, itâs not green. If a child coughs, itâs not culture. If the sky turns grey, itâs not celebration. @nehagj7

They call them âgreen crackers.â But the morning after Diwali, every child wakes up coughing under a grey sky. #IsGreyTheNewGreen #RightToBreathe

We call on @CMODelhi @gupta_rekha & the Honâble Supreme Court: * Choose health over symbolism. * Protect children before traditions. * Ban all crackers; green or not. Article 21 gives us the right to life, and that means the right to clean air. #IsGreyTheNewGreen

Mothers from every corner of India are speaking up: âMy childâs inhaler doesnât care if the cracker is âgreenâ.â âHow will we tell real green from fake?â âWhy must celebration mean suffocation?â @gupta_rekha

Hundreds of messages are pouring in from mothers & citizens across India; angry, anxious and tired of breathing lies disguised as âgreen crackers.â Thereâs nothing green about them, only grey skies and choking children. @gupta_rekha @mssirsa @govt_delhi

Delhi leads. The rest of India follows. If Delhi brings back âgreen crackersâ, it will set a dangerous precedent, one that could undo years of progress on air quality. This isnât just policy, itâs a public health gamble. @gupta_rekha

This isnât only about Diwali. Crackers now mark every occasion; weddings, cricket wins, political rallies, processions, New Yearâs, Gurpurabs. When every celebration burns, clean air becomes the casualty. @gupta_rekha
