| Ahead of Diwali, Supreme Court bans sale of firecrackers in Delhi and NCR. While the SC had issued a similar ban in the NCR region last year, it didn’t have the opportunity to observe the impact on pollution levels, it said. The apex court also ordered that a relevant agency compute the impact of a noise-and smoke-free festival this year. The SC allowed the sale of firecrackers to resume after November. It simultaneously suspended all licenses issued by the Delhi Police to shopkeepers that allowed them to sell fireworks. |
