The apex court, though, has confined cracker bursting to specific hours on festival eve, day
In a significant relaxation ahead of Diwali, the Supreme Court on Wednesday permitted the sale and bursting of green firecrackers in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) during the festival with certain conditions.
The court made it clear that use of green crackers will be confined to specific hours on the day before Diwali and on the festival day itself. However, the sale of green crackers will be permitted from 18 to 21 October.
Allowing the joint request of the Union and Delhi governments, a bench comprising Chief Justice B. R. Gavai and Justice K. Vinod Chandran relaxed the ban on green firecrackers.
