Firecrackers ban in Delhi-NCR: The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to lift the ban on manufacturing, storing, and selling firecrackers in Delhi-NCR, noting air pollution levels had remained alarming for a considerable time. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan emphasised that street workers and other vulnerable groups are the most affected by pollution.
