New Delhi: The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) on Tuesday (September 28) ordered a complete ban on the sale and bursting of firecrackers in the national capital till January 1, 2022.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced a ban on firecrackers on September 15, saying it was "essential to save lives."
According to the DPCC order, several experts have indicated a possibility of another surge of COVID-19 and largescale celebrations by bursting of firecrackers will result not only in agglomeration of people in violation of social distancing norms but also a high level of air pollution leading to serious health issues in Delhi.
