Rwitobroto roots for a #NoCrackersDiwali

Given the fact that so many people are suffering due to the

ongoing pandemic

, actor Rwitobroto Mukherjee roots for a #NoCrackersDiwali this year and welcomes the notice issued by

Calcutta High Court

on the ban of firecrackers. Rwitobroto said, “Bursting

firecrackers

not only increases air pollution, but also the chances of people getting affected by

different respiratory problems

also increase. As we know, the novel coronavirus is a respiratory pathogen, so patients affected by it will have more problems due to polluted air caused by bursting of firecrackers. This year Diwali will be a lot different and I urge everyone to say #NoToCrackers and celebrate the festival with only lights and diyas. Bursting of friecrackers are also extremely harmful for the pets at home, strays on the street and the birds.”
