Environment important, but so are traditions: MP CM Chouhan
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday announced that he will celebrate Diwali "traditionally", claiming that the "environment is important, but so are traditions". Arguing that firecrackers alone do not contribute to pollution, Chouhan added that he would light earthen lamps and also burst a few crackers. The state recently banned use of high-decibel firecrackers.
