The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to interfere with the Delhi government’s order putting a comprehensive ban on the manufacture, storage, sale and bursting of firecrackers in the capital city.
BJP Lok Sabha MP Manoj Tiwari’s counsel told a bench of Justices AS Bopanna and MM Sundresh that a complete ban has been imposed on firecrackers despite the court allowing bursting of green firecrackers.
The bench told the counsel for Tiwari, “No, we are not going to interfere. Where the government has banned firecrackers, it means complete ban. People’s health is important. If you want to burst firecrackers, go to states where there is no ban.” The counsel stated that his client being an MP was responsible towards his constituents and the court has itself allowed bursting of green firecrackers.
The bench told Tiwari (MP from North East Delhi), “You should make the people understand that they should not burst firecrackers. Even you should not burst firecrackers during victory processions after elections. There are other ways of celebrating the victory.”
Previously on September 11, to combat high pollution levels during winter months, Delhi’s Environment Minister Gopal Rai announced comprehensive ban on the manufacture, storage, sale and bursting of firecrackers in the national capital.
