The Supreme Court has made it clear that the rules about firecrackers are the same all over India. They said that firecrackers that are not safe or are too loud are not allowed. This is not just for Delhi-NCR but for every place in the country. The court said that Rajasthan must also follow this rule. This is to make sure the air and noise pollution is less, during Diwali and also at other times.
The lawyer for the case explained that some people think this rule is only for Delhi-NCR. But it is actually for the whole country. The court had already said in 2018 that only safe 'green crackers' can be made and sold. Crackers that make a lot of noise or have harmful chemicals like barium are not allowed. You can't buy crackers online either. They can only be bought from shops that have a license. The court also told when these crackers can be used.
On October 29, 2021, the court had said the same thing again. They also said that not all firecrackers are banned. Only the ones that are bad for health are not allowed.
