New Delhi: The Supreme Court Tuesday permitted the sale and manufacture of “green” firecrackers which have low emission across the country.
A bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan and A K Sikri fixed the 8 pm to 10 pm time period for bursting of firecrackers on Diwali and other festivals.
The apex court also restrained e-commerce websites like Flipkart and Amazon from selling firecrackers which are beyond the permissible limit.
The top court’s order came on a plea seeking a ban on the manufacture and sale of firecrackers across the country to curb air pollution.
