Govt to urge SC for green firecrackers

CHIEF Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said that the Delhi government will urge the Supreme Court to allow the use of certified green firecrackers during Diwali. The government will present its stand in writing before the apex court, she said.

Gupta emphasised that the proposal aims to balance the emotional significance of the festival with the need for environmental safety, ensuring that celebrations are both joyful and responsible. The government's stance will include measures to ensure that only authorised entities produce certified green firecrackers. These firecrackers, which meet pollution control standards, will be available for sale to residents wishing to celebrate Diwali in a cleaner, safer environment, she said.
