BMC Removes Dia Mirza’s Pollution‑Free Diwali Video After BJP Criticism

Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) removed a short video posted by actress Dia Mirza that promoted a pollution‑free Diwali celebration. The clip, which highlighted eco‑friendly lighting and waste‑free practices, was taken down after BJP Mumbai chief Ameet Satam publicly criticized the content. Satam said that the city’s traditions are deeply rooted in culture and that lessons on how to celebrate Diwali were unnecessary. BMC has not issued a formal statement explaining the removal or outlining future guidelines for public content.
