Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday dismissed concerns over pollution caused by Diwali celebrations, saying, “don’t worry; pollution would be mitigated as well.” Addressing a government programme in Lucknow, Adityanath said people had celebrated Diwali with enthusiasm, and there was no need to be overly concerned about the pollution issue. He also criticised a section of people for remaining silent against who polluted the entire system with their corrupt misdeeds. “If the public burst crackers one day, it created pollution! If pollution occurred, it would be mitigated as well. No problem. It is good that people celebrated Diwali with ‘dhoom-dhadaka’ and burst crackers. We decided not to impose any prohibitions,” he said.
