Happy Diwali! GHMC encourages people to use green crackers; forms teams to check illegal sale

Earlier, the Supreme Court had issued an order regulating the bursting of the crackers and the use of low emission sound and light-emitting functional firecrackers or green crackers.

GHMC said the production, sale, and use of firecrackers and series crackers or laris other than green crackers are banned. GHMC said illegal imports, sale, and distribution of these fireworks are punishable offences.

Moreover, it has formed teams to identify shops or persons selling imported firecrackers and will impose severe penalties or punishments on the violators.

GHMC has requested the citizens to share information on anyone found selling banned firecrackers to the nearest police station for taking necessary action.

Also, citizens have been encouraged to burst green crackers at a community level. For this purpose, particular areas or fields would be pre-identified and pre-designated by the concerned authorities.
