Despite ban on firecrackers, there is more to celebrate this Diwali
It's difficult to get a unanimous answer to this question. People who revel by burning crackers certainly will miss the joy. For others, the SC decision has come as a boon.
Will the Supreme Court ban on the sale of firecrackers in the Delhi-NCR till November 1 dampen the spirit of the festive season?
It's difficult to get a unanimous answer to this question. People who revel by burning crackers certainly will miss the joy. For others, the Sc decision has come as a boon.

Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan welcomed the apex court's order and urged people to abide by the SC guidelines and "give green Diwali and our environment a chance".
Greenpeace India also welcomed the SC decision, saying the verdict might provide some relief from the episodic air pollution spikes in the city in October i.e. during Diwali.
