Courts should not be allowed to exercise executive powers. Tomorrow some judge may ban smoking cigarette as according to his whims, smoking is injurious to health. Ban consumption of alcohol as it can lead to social problems. Ban Ganesh/Durga Visarjan as it disturbs traffic and cause pollution. Judges should/ can take decisions based on laws framed by executives. They cannot/should not frame laws of their own. It will be dangerous for the country to allow such things to happen.

Laws are not framed by executives. Only legislative Assembly and Parliament has the power to frame laws. Court is enforcing that law through executives. There are enough laws made for preventing air, water and soil pollution. Court acted on the basis of those acts. when cracker explode, sulphur combines with oxygen and emit sulphur di oxide, which in high quantity is a toxic pollutant. smoking in public is already banned. This is because secondary smoking (inhaling the smoke exhaled by smokers) is more dangerous for people, especially children. these are the same people who criticized Delhi C M Kejriwal for trying to reduce Delhi air pollution by regulating vehicle traffic. we have the responsibility to hand over this planet to our next generation as we inherited it.
Mr Aakar Patel has very rightly said that one day ban is not justified. It is better we learn other methods to curb pollution. This is not right at all.
I never used to burst crackers, of course after i was adult enough to not understand that it causes pollution. But why and how can a court decide it Any cultural events have there own set of practices which allow people enjoy it Risk is always there. May be court should ban driving on roads b'coz that causes most deaths in India and also rails. We all should walk only. People fighting cases for there genuine problems for 15-20 years and still no result but courts are more interested in useless decisions. No offense meant. I respect my country, its laws, but not the one who is not able to implement it while destroying families just by postponing dates

Mass Hysteria not appropriate at all. If you talk of old time of 60' 70's then our society was united with prevailing joint family system, where the festival was celebrated by all with celebrations starting months before. if you curb this celebrations also which relaxes , refreshes and join the over stressed solitary families , kids possessed by computers , mobiles then sooner or later India will also be witnessing instance like America where stressed person starts killing others. And above all don't call it mass hysteria. It is our tradition may be a little bit more modernized with fascinating fireworks, so what everything has been modernized. If have guts then ban the firework in marriage, sports, new year , events ban it completely.
I think crackers were banned in delhi till 12th September 2017. There was no hue and cry . The problem is that the ban was lifted on 12th and re imposed again after a few days. This type of action creates uncertainties and confusion.
I do not believe that one day ban on crackers can change the level of pollution. It is just like banning 4 hrs vehicles movement in the city. SC should identify the real culprits and punish them instead of curbing cultural activities. SC should direct Punjab/Haryana for heavy punishments to those farmers who are burning waste of Paddy. Free Water/Electricity etc. to those farmers should be made on paid basis and also their incomes are to be taxed at a normal tax slabs without any exemptions.
What a insensible article by insensibleman called AakarPatel & I wonder how come this type of person poor thinking is holding Executive Director, Amnesty International India. Really wonderful only in India. When pollution is making crores of life miserable & suffering this man is advocating livlihood of few. Pollution in any form is to banned no matterwho so ever is hurt financially or mentally for the sake of public good & all right thinking masses should support the ban on crackers & other polluting substances & even sound pollution whole heartedly least bothering for Articles/comments from person like Aakar & Co who always try to give religious fervour for every change for better.

The people like Aakar patel and like minded people will have absolutely no guts and courage to say anything against the noise pollution and disturbance created by the loudspeakers from the Masjids five times a day through out they year all over the country but will like to give suggestion and advice only to Hindus how to celebrate their festivals and follow their traditions.

Aakar & Co. gives religious fervour for everything? You must be reading some other Aakar.
One wrong thing done by many people doesnot automatically change other wrong things done by many other people right by comparing any saying we do it for few days and others are doing it continuously. So we are doing less, and it will not effect.
You cannot justify wrong thing comparing it many other wrong things which are high as compared to this.
