KOLKATA: Continuing their campaign against a Diwali free of unsafe crackers, Bidhannagar Police organised a procession with 600 odd policemen, school children and local drivers on New Town roads spreading the idea of “Green Diwali Safe Diwali” and pleading residents to celebrate an eco friendly Diwali free of fireworks, fumes and noise.
"The bursting of firecrackers not only causes pollution but is also detrimental to the health of people. We have been pleading with people to avoid fireworks and celebrate the festival with diyas, candles and other eco friendly products that leave minimum carbon footprint," said a senior Bidhannagar official.
