Delhi CM, L-G share stage at 'Dilli Ki Diwali' in Connaught Place

New Delhi: Amid cheers by amazed spectators, Delhi's famed Connaught Place on Saturday was witness to a mega laser show organised by the Arvind Kejriwal government to encourage people shun crackers to cut down pollution in the national capital. At the inaugural session, Chief Minister Kejriwal said that every year people would burst firecrackers in large numbers days ahead of Diwali, but this time, he has noticed a change.

"I have not heard a single firecracker being burst in the capital and it is a good start," he said.

Lt Governor Anil Baijal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were also present as the four-day event, named "Dilli ki Diwali", kick-started in Central Park in presence of hundreds of people.
