After the Supreme Court’s direction towards the firecrackers, Delhi Police on Wednesday declared some guidelines on its sale. Only those crackers that will qualify the guidelines would be tagged as the Green Crackers, but know Delhi Police themselves are still dubious on the differentiation. Green Crackers unlike the firecrackers do not contain any harmful chemical compounds increasing the level of pollution in the air drastically.
Due to this direction by the court, Delhi traders are upset.
How public is taking on this:
In Assam, Ganakkuchi village has been making “Green Crackers” For 130 years. Since 1885, residents of Ganakkuchi have been making toobris or flower pots with a traditional formula that’s low noise, no flame, no chemicals, but turns Diwali into a starry night. pic.twitter.com/vQJQArw578
