SC modifies order on firecracker sale in Delhi-NCR
While allowing the resumption of sale of firecrackers in Delhi-NCR by lifting the suspension of permanent licenses, the apex court told the Police that up to a maximum of 500 temporary licenses should be issued to shopkeepers this year as the existing stock was enough.
The court also directed authorities to make sure that fireworks are not burst in silence zones and within 100 meters from hospitals, nursing homes, health centres, courts, religious places etc.
In November last year, the court had suspended all licenses for sale and retail of firecrackers in Delhi-NCR.
The court on Tuesday said it may review the lifting of suspension of permanent licenses after Diwali depending on air quality.
