PoliticsSupreme Court Rules Against Total Firecracker Ban, Limits Usage Hours
The Supreme Court of India ruled that a total ban on firecrackers would hurt public sentiments and will not be imposed. Instead, the court decided to allow firecrackers only during specified hours to balance celebrations and public health. The bench emphasized protecting vulnerable groups like the elderly and children. Limited use of 'next-generation green crackers' meeting safety and emission standards was also discussed.
