New Delhi: In a significant move to curb pollution, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has announced a complete ban on the bursting, manufacturing, storage, and sale of firecrackers in the city ahead of Diwali. This includes a strict prohibition on the sale and delivery of firecrackers through online platforms.
The decision is part of the ongoing efforts to tackle Delhi’s rising air pollution levels, which typically spike during the festive season due to the use of firecrackers. Authorities have warned that anyone found violating the ban will face strict legal action.
The Delhi government has been taking several measures in recent years to combat the hazardous pollution levels during Diwali, with firecrackers being a significant contributor. This year’s blanket ban aims to further reduce the harmful impact on air quality and protect public health.
Public awareness campaigns and alternative celebrations are being encouraged to ensure compliance with the ban and promote environmentally friendly practices during the festive season.
