Know It All In 30 Seconds
Delhi Government and National Green Tribunal, shortly known as NGT, has recently imposed a ban on every sort of crackers in Delhi and adjoining areas after the Air Quality Index (AQI) has deteriorated and has come to a ‘severe’ level in NCR! But did they also ban Green Crackers too?
What To Expect
NGT has imposed a complete ban on every kind of cracker, no matter if they are green or not, in the Delhi region where AQI is shown ‘poor’ level from today’s midnight till November 30th. Earlier Delhi Govt. allowed bursting of Green crackers for a provided time of two hours in the evening and at a provided place, but after the NGT verdict, all sort of crackers got banned in every city where AQI is shown poor!
What You’ll Love
Though, the cities having ‘moderate’ or above AQI are still allowed to burst green firecrackers only, at a particular spot, and for a limited time as their state govt. suggests! This decision was taken amid the pandemic and the breathing condition lowering day by day in the capital region. Delhi’s AQI stood at ‘severe’ for the 5th day in a row, for which this ban would surely help oldies and people with breathing problems.
Bottom Line
Have a safe and Cracker-less Diwali, literally!!
