Our orders breached ‘left and right’, Deepavali was a festival of lights before gunpowder, Supreme Court says in firecrackers case
The Supreme Court ruled that a total ban on firecrackers could have a spiralling effect, urging the Centre and Delhi government to enforce strict measures against sellers of banned and counterfeit crackers. The decision follows a debate over Deepavali, traditionally a festival of lights, and the use of gunpowder. The court stresses the need for robust enforcement to curb illegal sales.
