This came in wake of the Supreme Court’s order on regulating the bursting of the crackers and use of green crackers. Following this, production, sale and use of firecrackers and series crackers or laris other than green crackers are banned. Illegal imports, sale and distribution of these fireworks is a punishable offense. “Teams have been formed to identify shops/persons selling imported firecrackers and to impose severe penalties/punishments,” said GHMC in a press release.
