💨 Abstract

Delhi government has imposed an immediate ban on the production, storage, sale, and use of all firecrackers from October 14 to January 1, to curb air pollution. The ban includes firecrackers sold online. The ban is implemented ahead of the winter season when air pollution worsens due to factors like stubble burning, lower wind speeds, and seasonal factors. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee will enforce the ban, with strict penalties for violations.
