In view of rising pollution levels in the national capital, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has banned the sale and use of firecrackers in Delhi-NCR and in regions with ‘poor’ air quality across the country, till November 30.
The order has allowed the use of green crackers for a limited time period in areas where air quality is moderate or below.
The NGT had earlier sent out notices to 23 states and Union territories, where the quality of air has deteriorated beyond standards.
