Huge verdict from the SC ahead of Diwali. The SC has partially banned the sale of fire crackers. E-sale of fire crackers is banned and only reduced emission crackers are the only things that can be manufactured and sold. Meanwhile, only licensed vendors are allowed to sell fire crackers. This order is not just limited to Diwali but to all festivals. Bursting of crackers are allowed from 8-10pm only on Diwali. On Christmas and New Years cracker bursting is allowed till 11:55pm-12:30 am.
