Fireworks have been banned on Shab-e-Barat by the government. As a result of firecrackers, a lot of money is wasted and these firecrackers also cause serious air pollution.
These firecrackers disturb many people and also cause difficulties for those people who visit the graveyards of their relatives on this occasion. They can also be a safety hazard and many children are injured due to accidents involving these firecrackers.
But it is sure that despite the ban, fireworks will be done all over the country like every year. The government should ask the people to celebrate this occasion without disturbing others. Hence, the government should try to strictly enforce this ban.
