Make mechanism to ensure sale of green crackers, Supreme Court tells Centre
The Supreme Court, acknowledging its previous cracker ban in Delhi-NCR was breached, directed the Centre to create a mechanism by October 8 for only green crackers. This aims to balance air quality with livelihoods, allowing production of NEERI/PESO-compliant green crackers. Their sale in Delhi-NCR is pending further orders, with enforcement gaps highlighted.
