Last year, along with the Delhi government, the Supreme Court had also ordered a ban on dangerous firecrackers. Before Diwali, the Supreme Court had clarified that its order to ban the use of barium and banned chemicals in firecrackers is applicable not only to the National Capital Region (NCR) but to the entire country. The ban on firecrackers has a bad effect on the businessmen of Delhi.
