Bombay HC asks BMC to re-upload Dia Mirza’s firecracker appeal, says ‘deeply pained’ by controversy

India’s Bombay High Court has ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to restore a video featuring actress Dia Mirza urging an eco‑friendly Diwali, after the municipal body removed it following pressure from the ruling BJP. The court said it was ‘deeply pained’ by the controversy surrounding the appeal and directed the BMC to re‑upload the message.
