Mumbai witnessed a noisy Diwali this year despite the Supreme Court putting restrictions on bursting of firecrackers. Some residential areas in the city recorded "high" noise levels Wednesday night against the permissible limits, said environment activist Sumaira Abdulali, the founder of NGO Awaaz Foundation, which has been campaigning for bringing down noise levels.
Seven people were detained for allegedly flouting the apex court's guidelines and bursting crackers beyond the permissible time limit, police said Thursday. In gross violation of the apex court's order, people in some parts of the megacity burst firecrackers even after the 10 pm deadline.
