In a compelling letter to the editor, Avisha Ali voices her frustration over the prolonged issue of fireworks misuse in society. She highlights the inadequacy of current noise pollution laws and the severe consequences of fireworks, which include health risks, anxiety, hearing loss, and harm to vulnerable populations such as infants, the elderly, and animals. Ali emphasizes that while the government exists to enact laws for the nation’s welfare, the public must also take a stand to demand change. She acknowledges that petitions may not always be effective but believes collective action can influence policymakers to address this persistent problem. Ali’s letter underscores the need for stricter regulations to curb the widespread availability and misuse of fireworks, which she describes as a societal menace.
