Actress Sreelekha Mitra urges everyone to say #NoToCrackers

Actress Sreelekha Mitra urged everyone to say #NoToCrackers this Diwali due to the immense harm it causes to the environment by emitting poisonous fumes. It also causes harm to the pets at home, stray

animals

and the birds around us. "I am a dog mother and I know how much trouble our

furry friends

go through due to the sound and

harmful smoke

produced by these crackers. Animals in our homes and on the streets get extremely

frightened

. Even the birds around us feel uncomfortable. I would urge everyone to say no to crackers and celebrate this Diwali with

lights

and diyas," said the actress.
