No cracker sound this Deepavali in chennai

Delhi air pollution will be brought under control

Yes you are correct
 
Noiseless deepavali is good. Weirdly I felt many times the sound of the crackers muffled and were even a whimper though there were noisy moments.

Anybody else noticed the strangeness in the sound?

The above for those in Chennai only
 

Chennai air quality deteriorates to 'poor' after Diwali firecrackers​


After Diwali firecrackers, air quality in major cities across the country has deteriorated, with Delhi and Mumbai recording "poor" Air Quality Indexes (AQI). Chennai's air quality has also gone down, with it deteriorating to "poor".

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has reported that the AQI in several parts of Tamil Nadu's capital city has exceeded 250, indicating poor air quality.

In view of the situation, the government has advised people to wear masks when going outdoors and avoid strenuous activity to protect themselves from the poor air quality.

The widespread bursting of crackers on Diwali despite a Supreme Court ban aggravated the pollution problem in Delhi-NCR with people waking up to a thick haze and the air quality at several locations plunging into “severe” and “very poor” category. The visibility at many points was limited to a few hundred metres.

The authorities in the national capital are now contemplating the implementation of the odd-even vehicle rationing scheme, if the air quality index (AQI) crosses the level of 450, which is categorised as ‘severe plus’.
