Deepavali celebrations in Karachi saw the Hindu minority community come together to observe the Festival of Lights. At the Sri Swaminarayan Temple, devotees offered prayers and took part in puja ceremonies. The festivities featured fireworks, traditional drum rituals by priests, and homes decorated with rangoli patterns and lights across temples in Sindh province.

Investigation reveals discrepancies in Delhi's air quality reports and missing pollution control during peak hours with non-operational anti-smog guns and absent water sprinklers.
