Gurugram is set for a quieter and cleaner Diwali 2025 as the district administration enforces a strict ban on traditional firecrackers to tackle rising air pollution. Under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNS), the sale, use, and manufacturing of all firecrackers, except certified green crackers, has been banned. Only eco-friendly crackers listed on the NEERI website will be allowed, and these can be purchased between October 18–21 from authorised vendors. Bursting will be permitted only during designated hours: 6–7 AM and 8–10 PM on Diwali and the day before. Online sales and crackers brought from outside NCR are strictly prohibited. Authorities warn of legal action for violations under environmental and explosives laws. The move aims to reduce the severe health risks and pollution levels that spike during the festive season. Diwali 2025: Supreme Court Allows Bursting of Green Firecrackers in Delhi-NCR for Diwali From October 18 to 21, Sets Strict Timings and Enforcement Rules.
