In order to fight air pollution, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has imposed a total ban on sale or use of all kinds of firecrackers in the National Capital Region (NCR) from the midnight of November 9 to the midnight of November 30.
BMC also announced a ban on use of firecrackers and fireworks in Mumbai.
Only green crackers are allowed in the cities/towns where air quality is 'moderate' or below. The timings of bursting of crackers is restricted to two hours during festivals, like Diwali, Chatt, New Year, Christmas, etc.
In Mumbai, use of soundless firecrackers like 'phooljhadi', 'anar' are allowed between 8 pm till 10 pm on Diwali only, the BMC officials said.
The latest NGT direction will apply to all cities and towns in the country where the average of ambient air quality during November (as per available data of last year) fell under the 'poor' and above categories.
Several state Governments have banned crackers as bursting these will lead to a spike in air pollution and that, with the winter air, could affect Covid patients
According to an ET report, Diwali accounts for over 75 per cent of firecracker sales in India. So, if there is a total ban on crackers then it will not be a 'Happy Diwali' for low-income workers involved in manufacturing of crackers.

Union health ministry has already said that high pollution levels could make people more prone to catching the coronavirus infection, which manifests itself in the respiratory tract.
