Supreme Court suggests Virat Kohli for pollution awareness campaign amid firecracker ban row

The Supreme Court has suggested roping in cricket star <b>Virat Kohli</b> for a nationwide <b>pollution awareness</b> campaign amid the ongoing legal debates surrounding firecracker bans. As stubble burning and seasonal smog choke cities, courts and administrative bodies continue to grapple with effective ways to tackle toxic air quality without just relying on paper-thin bans. While star power makes for great headlines, relying on celebrities to fix systemic ecological collapse is the ultimate administrative shortcut. Instead of fixing public transport or enforcing industrial emission norms, policymakers prefer cosmetic campaigns that shift the burden of clean air onto individual citizens. Ultimately, a celebrity campaign cannot clear the smog unless backed by aggressive, ground-level policy enforcement and structural reforms.
