SC allows less polluting crackers between 8 pm and 10 pm on Diwali
The Supreme Court on Tuesday said people can burst less polluting firecrackers between 8 pm and 10 pm on Diwali. In an attempt to curb air pollution across the country, online sale of firecrackers is banned with offline sales allowed only through license holders. The court had temporarily banned the sale of firecrackers before Diwali on October 9 last year.
