A smoke free Diwali in Delhi-NCR, Orders Supreme Court

In a welcome move, the Supreme Court has banned the sale of fireworks in Delhi and in the National Capital Regions ahead of annual festival Diwali on October 19, taking precautionary measure over pollution caused by smoke and chemicals released into the air.

However, the order does not prohibit the use of crackers- which means people with previous year’s remaining stock can burst firecrackers. But the suppress on the sale is clearly inclined to drastically reduce the use of firecrackers in the Delhi and in the capital regions. The ban will be forced till October 31.

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. Therefore it also ordered that a relevant agency compute the impact of a noise-and smoke-free festival this year.

Moreover, the SC has simultaneously suspended all licenses issued by Delhi Police to sellers that allow them to sale firecrackers in the national capital.

The sale of firecrackers will resume after November, 1 this year in Delhi and surrounding areas.
