The Supreme Court bans firecrackers in Delhi and NCR to fight air pollution, citing a constitutional right to clean air.
The Supreme Court has ordered a complete ban on firecrackers in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) to combat air pollution. Delhi and Rajasthan have already banned firecrackers, but the effectiveness of the ban depends on other NCR states like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana implementing similar restrictions. The court emphasized that living in a pollution-free environment is a constitutional right. The case is set for further hearing on January 15, 2025.
