Don't Waste Money, Celebs Must Do Anti-Fireworks Campaign For Free: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court issued a statement urging celebrities to support an anti-fireworks campaign. The court questioned why stars attending the annual Mumbai Police event called ‘Umang’ could not spare 15 minutes for a social cause. Fireworks are a major source of air pollution and can cause health problems for residents, especially during the monsoon season. The court’s remarks came as part of a broader effort to reduce the environmental impact of celebrations in the city.

Celebrities often use their platforms to raise awareness about public issues. The court’s question highlights the expectation that public figures should contribute to causes that benefit society. By dedicating a short time slot to the anti-fireworks message, stars could help spread the idea that fireworks should be used responsibly or replaced with safer alternatives. The court’s stance is a reminder that influential personalities have a responsibility to use their reach for the public good.

The anti-fireworks campaign is part of a growing movement to protect air quality and public health. If the campaign gains traction, it could lead to stricter regulations on fireworks sales and usage during festivals. The court’s call may also encourage other public events to include environmental messages. The response from the celebrity community and the public will determine how effective the campaign becomes in reducing the use of fireworks in the city.
