This Diwali again, lot of incandescent bulbs were seen in use for decorative lighting. Despite several appeals for not using the bulbs for decoration, most of the market associations and shopkeepers did not respond and continued using the same inefficient bulbs.
I think when we have surplus money, we become unconcerned about energy efficiency and other similar issues related to sustainability.
Since awareness campaigns and voluntary action is not working well in this field, government should ban use of incandescent lamps, especially for decorative lighting. It has to be done similar to the way polythene bags have been banned in Rajasthan.
Same action is required to curb the firing of crackers that pollute our environment like anything.

Absolutely right sir, Govt. should have to stop such useless use of incandescent bulbs.
