The BMC has not restored Dia Mirza's anti-firecracker video despite the Bombay High Court's deadline. The delay underscores tensions over secular messaging and environmental advocacy during Diwali.

The Bombay High Court directed the BMC to restore Dia Mirza's anti-pollution Diwali video. The bench said political objections must not undermine secular environmental awareness.

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday expressed displeasure over the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) decision to remove an anti-pollution Diwali campaign video featuring actor Dia Mirza, saying it was “disturbed” by the incident and describing it as “unfortunate”.
