It is understood that, todays fire crackers are very solid and explosive that could make any damage if not used with present state of mind.
Undoubtedly it must be said that these fire crackers are making air and noise pollution, as one believes that our environment has got disturbed of which we are facing day today unexpected rains in Kashmir valley, said Fayaz Ahmad, a student of Environmental studies.
