Jalandhar, October 18

Extending warm greetings to residents of the district on the eve of Diwali, Deputy Commissioner Varinder Kumar Sharma today called upon them to celebrate a clean, green and pollution-free Diwali.

He said the sparkling lights of Diwali not only illuminate every household, but it was also a symbol of the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and hope over despair.

Sharma appealed to people to celebrate the festival with traditional fervour and gaiety, rising above the parochial considerations of caste, colour, creed and religion.

He asked them to adhere to the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and burst crackers between 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. He said celebrating a clean, green and pollution-free Diwali was the need of the hour.
