People throng shops during day oblivious of the fresh order
A day after the Gurugram district administration allowed a two-hour window for bursting green crackers on Deepavali, the Haryana Disaster Management Authority on Sunday put a blanket ban on all kinds of firecrackers in the State’s 14 districts falling under the National Capital Region (NCR).
The two-page order said, “In view of the various directions of the National Green Tribunal and the Supreme Court, there would be a total ban on the sale or use of all kinds of firecrackers in the 14 NCR districts.” The order said the bursting of crackers could affect the respiratory health of vulnerable groups.
