Environment Ministry should impose total ban on manufacture and sale of traditional crackers with formula to make green environment-friendly fire-crackers making public

It refers to media-reports about large-scale violation of Supreme Court order imposing restrictions on fire-crackers during main Hindu festival of Deepawali. Last year also, people bypassed Supreme Court orders by gifting fire-crackers rather than procuring on sale from the market, since ban in the year 2017 was on sale of fire-crackers and not on bursting them on procuring as gift.

 

Instead of creating wrong feelings about court-ruling as if being targeted only some selected festivals, it is time that Union Ministry for Environment, Forests and Climate Change now swiftly gears up for future by imposing a total ban on manufacture and bursting of traditional fire-crackers in the country. Ministry should also issue norms and formula for preparing green environment-friendly fire-crackers so that by next Deepawali of the year 2019, people may get environment-friendly green fire-crackers so that manufacturers of fire-crackers may switch to manufacture such fire-crackers which may be used on festive and other happy occasions without any restrictions from the court or concerned authorities.
