In another post, Mira urged people to stop bursting crackers. "Seriously why? Who is even bursting these crackers? Please stop," she requested.

As per the Centre-run System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR), the air quality would not improve until Sunday evening (November 7). The improvement would, however, just fluctuate in the 'Very Poor' category.
