“Pollution is a problem and has become a challenge. Therefore, efforts should be made to celebrate green Diwali,” the Punjab chief minister said.  

Wishing people to celebrate a safe Diwali, Mann said, “Lakhs of people lose their eyesight on this day because of firecrackers and a majority of them are children. Along with Happy Diwali, I also wish people a safe Diwali.”
