AAP, BJP spar over firecracker ban

THE Delhi government has decided to reimpose the ban on the manufacturing, sale, storage and use of all kinds of firecrackers in the capital as part of an action plan to reduce air pollution levels in winter.

There will also be a ban on online sale or delivery of firecrackers in the national capital. Reacting to the development, the BJP accused the AAP of "hurting the sentiments of Hindus" and demanded that people be allowed to at least use green crackers.

The ban in firecrackers in Delhi will impact Sivakasi fireworks business to the tune of 15-20 percent this year.

Addressing a press conference, environment minister Gopal Rai on Monday said that strict directions will be issued to the Delhi Police to implement the ban in the city.
