SC to examine plea to ease green-cracker ban

NEW DELHI: That firecrackers cause mayhem in Delhi is not in doubt. What is less certain is whether the same yardstick of pollution can be applied to the rest of India. Things haven’t been helped by the fact that different govt agencies are not on the same page when it comes to allowing production and sale of new-generation crackers. Keeping all this in mind, SC Wednesday agreed to examine a plea for relaxing its order on the sale of green crackers in the country.Hearing an application filed by a cracker manufacturer association, SC said a balance has to be maintained between competing interests of controlling pollution and employment of lakhs of workers in the industry. Additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati said the entire country could not be seen from the prism of Delhi, which faces a pollution crisis that is peculiar to the city. SC agreed with her view and asked all parties to come up with a solution that keeps in mind competing interests.
