In violation of the ban imposed by the Uttar Pradesh administration, people burst firecrackers in Ghaziabad to celebrate Diwali on Saturday evening.

Meanwhile, the bursting of firecrackers could be heard in various parts of the national capital last night, including the Pandav Nagar area of East Delhi despite a ban.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has imposed a total ban on the sale or use of all kinds of firecrackers in Delhi-NCR till November 30.

The air quality dipped to "severe" at several places across Delhi last night owing to a combination of stubble burning and firecrackers burst during the Diwali celebrations in violation of a ban on the same.
