Supreme Court Reviews Firecracker Restrictions and Air Pollution Concerns in Delhi-NCR

The Supreme Court held a suo motu hearing on October 12 focusing on air pollution in Delhi-NCR, balancing firecracker restrictions with religious sentiments and public health.

Citing enforcement difficulties, the Bench cautioned against implementing a blanket ban on firecrackers across the region.

The court emphasized the importance of public awareness and voluntary restraint to encourage the adoption of less-polluting alternatives during celebrations.
