This special report focuses on the Supreme Court’s decision to permit the use of green crackers in Delhi-NCR during Diwali, setting specific time slots and restrictions. The ruling, welcomed by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s government, comes after years of a blanket ban. The transcript quotes the Supreme Court as ‘noting that the complete ban on firecrackers has been blatantly violated by the citizens of Delhi NCR over the last few years.’ The court has mandated that only QR-coded green crackers certified by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) can be used between 6-7 AM and 8-10 PM. These crackers are designed to reduce pollution by about 30%, though experts describe them as less harmful, not entirely harmless. The Central and State Pollution Control Boards are tasked with monitoring the air quality to assess the impact of this regulated relaxation.
