The Supreme Court has said it is not in favour of a blanket ban on firecrackers in Delhi-NCR and will pass a balanced order on the issue.
The court stressed that action must be taken against those selling firecrackers in violation of the prescribed rules. It also suggested roping in prominent personalities, such as cricketer Virat Kohli, to spread awareness about the issue.
The court said it does not want to dampen people’s festive spirit. It added that the younger generation is already aware of the concerns surrounding firecrackers.
