Bengaluru: Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has instructed the officials to strictly follow the orders and directions issued by the Supreme Court regulating the sale and use of firecrackers within the jurisdiction of BBMP.

   The Supreme Court has given many directions regarding fireworks. As per the order of the State Pollution Control Board, only GREEN FIRECRACKERS are allowed to be burst from 8 pm to 10 pm. During the rest of the time bursting of firecrackers is completely banned.

 The sale and use of any other firecrackers except GREEN FIRECRACKERS as permitted by the Supreme Court directives is also prohibited.

 Public should celebrate Deepavali 2024 in an eco-friendly way. Officials should strictly instruct them to use only green crackers. Action should be taken against those selling and stocking banned firecrackers and confiscation of the entire warehouse. Tushar Girinath suggested that steps should be taken to register a criminal case against the concerned persons.
