SC flags sale of firecrackers despite restrictions, asks Centre to ensure compliance

The Supreme Court of India has called for strict enforcement of firecracker restrictions in Delhi-NCR. This decision follows a report revealing ongoing sales of both licensed and unlicensed firecrackers. While green firecrackers can be sold and burst on specific dates, the court has mandated designated 'no-cracker zones' around sensitive locations. Authorities must mark and publicize these areas to ensure compliance.
