💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has refused to lift the ban on firecracker manufacturing, storage, and sales in the Delhi-NCR region, citing persistent high levels of air pollution that are particularly harmful to street workers. The court emphasized the importance of the Right to Health and a pollution-free atmosphere as part of Article 21 of the constitution, and stated that the ban is necessary due to the "extraordinary situation" of air pollution in Delhi.
