Scores of people in Telangana's capital city on Saturday were seen bursting crackers during the Diwali celebration.
In line with a Supreme Court order, people in the state had a two-hour window, from 8 pm to 10 pm, to burst firecrackers on the day of the festival.
Some other states and union territories had banned firecrackers in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic while a few had allowed selective use of 'green' firecrackers for a few hours. Some states are also battling high level of pollution.
