Delhi Police Enforce Firecracker Rules Amid Continued Sale of Banned Crackers
Following the Supreme Court's limited approval for certified green firecrackers in Delhi-NCR during Diwali, police have intensified enforcement against illegal firecracker sales and public bursting, seizing over 3,000 kg and registering multiple cases. However, vendors in markets like Sadar Bazar and Jama Masjid continue discreetly selling banned traditional crackers, some without required QR codes. Police acknowledge challenges in monitoring residential areas but are conducting drives in commercial zones to curb violations amid ongoing demand for louder fireworks.
