The AAP-led Punjab government has taken a significant step towards ensuring a safer environment during festive celebrations by banning harmful firecrackers and permitting only "green crackers." Announced on October 15, the new regulations aim to restrict the sale and use of firecrackers during Diwali, Gurpurab, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. Green crackers, which are free from hazardous substances such as barium salts, mercury, and lead, are now the only permissible option for residents. Furthermore, the government mandates that sales be conducted solely by licensed traders specialising in these environmentally friendly firecrackers. The Information and Public Relations Department of Punjab has emphasised that any firecrackers exceeding permissible decibel levels are strictly prohibited for sale or use. Firecracker Ban in Delhi Ahead of Diwali: AAP Government Bans Production, Sale and Use of Firecrackers Till January 1, 2025 (Watch Video).
