The Supreme Court on Thursday extended the ban on making, storing and selling firecrackers in Delhi-NCR for a year. A bench of Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan said- the level of air pollution has been dangerous for a long time.
A large part of the population works on the roads and is the most affected by pollution. The bench said that not everyone can install air purifiers in their home or office. Until the court is satisfied that there is very little pollution from green firecrackers, there is no question of rethinking the previous orders.
During the hearing, private engineer Mukesh Jain said that the decision to ban firecrackers is not good. Fireworks clean the environment. He argued that the ban on firecrackers is part of the international conspiracy.
The Supreme Court on December 12, 2024 directed to ban firecrackers for a year in Delhi-NCR for a year.
Court left the engineer by warning During the hearing, engineers named Mukesh Jain appeared in private form. He sought permission to speak on the matter. On getting permission from the court, he opposed the ban on firecrackers.
On this, Justice Oka asked if you are an expert. Mukesh replied- Yes, I am an engineer studying from IIT. Mukesh also made serious allegations against famous environmentalist MC Mehta. He said- Mehta take funds from anti-national institutions.
On this, the court reprimanded that this person does not know who MC Mehta is and how much he has done for the environment. We can impose a fine on Mukesh Jain, but this time they are leaving by warning.
