Ahead of Diwali 2024, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee has imposed a complete ban on the manufacturing, storage, sale, and bursting of all kinds of firecrackers in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. The ban, which extends to online deliveries, will remain in effect until January 1, 2025. The order, issued on October 14, comes in light of concerns over deteriorating air quality, particularly during the festive season when firecracker use traditionally peaks. The notification cites the government's commitment to public health and the environment, invoking powers under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981. Additionally, the Delhi Police has been instructed to enforce this ban rigorously, with daily reports on actions taken to ensure compliance. Firecracker Ban in Delhi Ahead of Diwali: AAP Government Bans Production, Sale and Use of Firecrackers Till January 1, 2025 (Watch Video).
