Plea in NGT to ban use of crackers during Puri temple rituals
Cracker ban? Green or not, buying them is still as easy
Despite a blanket ban on firecrackers in Delhi-NCR due to pollution, they remain easily accessible via local sellers and online platforms. Police intensify border checks, but demand drives covert sales from neighboring districts. Increased purchases lead to arrests and seizures, but businesses continue supply amidst rising rates, exploiting loopholes to meet Diwali demands.
Firecrackers seized in Farrukhabad
Ahead of Diwali, Kanpur police seized a large cache of illegal firecrackers from a guest house in Farrukhabad. Linked to former corporator Purushottam Verma, the bust involved raids on his nephews' residence and his guest house. Three minors found producing firecrackers were detained, and an investigation is ongoing.
12 firecrackers markets set up in city
Prayagraj has established 300 temporary firecracker shops at 12 designated locations, with strict adherence to a 15-point fire safety guideline. Requirements include maintaining distance between shops, prohibition under high-tension wires, and compulsory availability of firefighting equipment. Only green crackers are allowed, and stringent regulations are enforced to prevent illegal trade and ensure public safety.
