Authorities Enforce Supreme Court Rules on Firecracker Sales and Use in Delhi NCR
Authorities in Gurugram and Old Delhi are enforcing Supreme Court guidelines on firecracker sales and usage during Diwali. Gurugram's administration will monitor licensed traders selling only certified green crackers between November 4 and 6, with restrictions on bursting times and locations. In Old Delhi, inspections led to sealing three shops selling prohibited firecrackers without valid licenses. The Supreme Court permits green firecrackers' sale and use on specified dates and times, while banning non-approved products and online sales across the National Capital Region.
