The Supreme Court suggests involving Virat Kohli and other prominent cricketers in a public awareness campaign urging a cracker-free Diwali, amid a wider dispute over firecracker restrictions. The court also questions how effective repeated bans and restrictions have been.
According to multiple outlets, the court’s comments extend beyond the idea of a celebrity-led message. NDTV reports the court also raises concerns about enforcement, calling for stronger action against violations in Delhi NCR. Other reports focus more on the proposed campaign and the court’s broader doubts about whether past measures reduce pollution.
Overall, the sources broadly agree on the central development: the Supreme Court’s suggestion to use a well-known sports figure to encourage compliance ahead of Diwali. They differ mainly in what additional enforcement details they foreground, while sharing the same core context of firecracker ban effectiveness and enforcement concerns.
