Jaipur: Shopkeepers flouting norms on green firecrackers, selling without barcodes

Shopkeepers claimed that the order regarding selling green firecrackers in boxes with barcodes came in 2021, while they were still selling stocks of the older packets.

Shopkeepers in Jaipur are flouting government norms that state only green firecrackers can be sold in the state. Shopkeepers in the Pink City are selling all types of firecrackers that cause pollution.

When India Today visited the market in the Walled City, firecrackers were being sold in packets without barcodes with customers being clueless as to whether they are purchasing green firecrackers or not.
