The apex court also set the timing of bursting green-crackers, between 20:00 and 22:00 on the Diwali night.
"These e-crackers are absolutely non-polluting and operated with a remote by plugging into an electric circuit. They produce light and sound, thereby perfectly suiting the festival of Diwali. As the festival of lights is approaching, the demand for such Chinese e-crackers is rising. Also these crackers are the only option for people as the real crackers which emitted a lot of smoke have been banned by the apex court," added the seller.
On the other hand, the sellers of the traditional crackers are unhappy as they averred that the Supreme Court order had adversely affected their business this year, to the extent of 30 percent.
"For the past several decades, my family has been into the business of selling fire-crackers throughout the year. But this year we are suffering huge losses due to the sudden Supreme Court order. Though we respect the apex court's order, but we had already bought huge stocks of fire-crackers for selling during the Diwali festival, and now all the stocks have gone waste in the wake of the ban," a fire-crackers seller in Chandnichowk area was quoted as saying by a local TV channel.
The court order is seen as a serious attempt to curb the air pollution in Delhi and its surrounding areas. As per the data of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the overall air quality index (AQI) of Delhi was recently recorded at 370, which falls in the "very poor" category.
