The Supreme Court on Tuesday took note of a Hindustan Times report highlighting the open sale of conventional and unauthorised firecrackers in Delhi-NCR despite restrictions. A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and Prasanna B Varale asked the Centre, Delhi government and police to take necessary steps to prevent violations. The report found firecrackers being sold openly in markets, with some products carrying missing or questionable QR codes. The court has allowed only certified green crackers to be sold at designated locations from November 4 to 6. Online sales remain prohibited, while a complete ban will return from November 9.
