Diwali is a celebration of happiness, light and unity. But the festival can be an occasion to promote the cause of protecting the environment and public health. Speaking on the occasion, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann today said that this festival should be celebrated with the people and also take care of the environment.
Bhagwant Mann’s Message Is Beyond Diwali Celebration
A Diwali message for everyone Punjab is one of the states where every single festival is celebrated with great passion and zeal. Your friends and family will decorate their homes with lights and sweets during the festival. This message also reminds us to keep the environment clean during Diwali.
Why Does Punjab Need Greener Diwali Celebrations?
During Diwali, firecrackers can also cause pollution on air and noise. Smoke and harmful particles can impact the air quality and pose discomfort to children, elderly and people sensitive to irritants. Cleaner, more eco-friendly means of celebration can help combat pollution and make the festival safer.
A Healthier Environment Is A Shared Responsibility
Citizens, communities and local authorities all have a role to play in making Punjab more environment-friendly. We all can make efforts like not bursting huge numbers of fire crackers, maintaining cleanliness in public places, and selecting eco-friendly decorations. Small individual efforts can complement the efforts of the government.
Celebrating Diwali With Happiness and Responsibility
Diwali is a festival of lights and symbolises hope, good will and new beginnings. But celebrating the festival responsibly means being able to take part in the festivities while still looking out for everyone’s health
