Civil rights activist Sumaira Abdulali, who has long campaigned against noise pollution, has demanded an explanation from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) after it pulled down a video featuring actor Dia Mirza on pollution-free Diwali.

The video was recorded as per the directives of the Bombay High Court, but it remained unavailable even 24 hours after the court’s criticism of the civic body, according to the input.

Abdulali said the BMC should clarify why the video was removed. The current status of the matter remains unclear.
