Hyderabad's Diwali waste trail: Out of sight, not out of the system

Hyderabad's Diwali waste trail: Out of sight, not out of the system

What's behind this

Satellite images taken after Diwali show a thick grey haze blanketing North India, with the densest smog reported over Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and the Himalayan states of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. In Delhi, doctors say the worsening pollution after the festival has led to a noticeable increase in respiratory problems among children, including newborns, who are arriving at hospitals with breathing difficulties. Meanwhile, the All India Imam Association President Maulana Mohd Sajid Rashidi criticised Congress leader Imran Masood for a remark that called Diwali a disease, describing it as an attack on the faith of celebrants and demanding an apology.
