The Supreme Court has recently announced that firecrackers other than eco-friendly ones are not permitted to be sold in Delhi-NCR region this Diwali. However, those crackers that are already produced can be sold in other parts of the country. In Southern states like Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, firecrackers can be burst from 4 am to 5 am, and from 9 pm to 10 pm during festivals. There will also be a ban on the sale of firecrackers through e-commerce websites pan India. The Apex Court’s verdict has been welcomed with open arms by many but it has also left some wondering where to get eco-friendly crackers and what are the other alternatives.
