flag Residents and animal rights advocates in Trinidad and Tobago have raised alarms over excessive fireworks during Diwali, citing severe distress to pets, wildlife, and vulnerable人群, including children with autism and the elderly. flag Despite existing laws requiring permits and previous government pledges to reduce noise pollution, enforcement remains weak, with unregulated use widespread. flag Activists and environmentalists are urging a ban on public fireworks except for major government-supervised events, calling for safer alternatives. flag While some companies report growing sales of quieter, safer options, critics say the government has failed to deliver on promised legislation. flag Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar confirmed plans to introduce new noise regulations, but concerns persist over inconsistent enforcement and lack of meaningful reform.
