Delhi govt tells SC it has imposed complete ban on firecrackers

The Haryana government told a bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih that it would allow only green crackers.

Rajasthan said it has banned firecrackers completely in areas falling in the national capital Region (NCR), while the Uttar Pradesh government said they have decided against banning the firecrackers completely.

The bench said that the ban will only become effective when all states forming part of NCR take the same decision on the ban of firecrackers. “For the time being, we direct Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to impose a similar ban which is imposed by Delhi,” it ordered.

The top court on December 12 had ordered Delhi government and other NCR States - Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan - to take a final call on prohibiting the use of firecrackers throughout the year.
